Alaskan baseball game delayed while a real bear wandered near outfield fence (VIDEO)

Mother Nature has many ways of delaying baseball games at her disposal — and plenty of furry and flying minions to help — whenever the whim seizes the old lady. But squirrels in Cleveland, gulls in San Francisco and bees in Los Angeles have nothing on the critter who showed up during an American Legion game in Juneau, Alaska on Sunday.

The game between West Post 1 and Juneau Post 25 was briefly delayed when a real bear casually checked out the game from behind the outfield fence during the fifth-inning.

And when this growling, half-ton fan decides he wants to have his seventh-inning stretch during the fifth-inning, well ... who's gonna stop him?

Bad News indeed.
