Brewers prospect chases possum off field, gets spooked

MiLB.com

There isn't much that will scare top Milwaukee Brewers prospect Brett Phillips on a baseball diamond, but a stray possum certainly does the trick.

Phillips, who's currently playing with the Double-A Biloxi Shuckers, had to chase a possum off the warning track in the middle of Friday's contest against the Tennessee Smokies. He did a good job getting it off the field quickly, except for that one second when the possum turned around and startled the poor outfielder.

Naturally, the Shuckers' social media team decided to have a little fun at his expense.

The Maverick vs. The Possum: coming soon to a theatre near you 😂 (p.s. We're team @brett_phillips8 for sure)
