A surprise distraction at the plate can change the flow of an entire baseball game and in some cases (see: Squirrel), can catapult a team to a destiny-filled World Series run.

When fans dish out money for a baseball game they're buying more than nine innings of on-field action. Baseball is an event -- an experience filled with $5 hot dogs, stadium seats built for the comfort of an eight-year old's body, and in some cases "the wave."
