VIDEO: Swarm of bees delays Red Sox-Yankees game

Some unwelcome intruders took in the Red Sox-Yankees clash on Tuesday, as a swarm of bees descended upon George M. Steinbrenner Field in the third inning of New York's 8-1 victory, temporarily stopping play.

"Not a big fan of bees flying around my head," said Red Sox left fielder Mike Carp, the first player to notice the swarm. "It's just one of those things I've never seen happen -- or, I've seen it happen, but it's never happened to me. I'm sure they'll get their laughs on ESPN tonight."

After being informed of the infestation, the umpires promptly summoned the grounds crew, who sprayed the area while the game was suspended.

"There were a lot. It was hard to see," Carp said. "They were honey bees, so it was nothing that was too dangerous, but it was still shocking to see a swarm of bees flying around you in a baseball game."

Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeria, however, had a different solution for guiding the bees out of the stadium.

"I'm a big peanut butter and honey guy; love it. So I always know where the honey is," Teixeira said. "What I thought was, 'If you could just do a line of honey out to the parking lot, the bees would follow it and leave us alone.'"
