Possum Prompts Evacuation of Twins’ Broadcast Booth


An unwanted guest made a surprise appearance at RingCentral Coliseum on Monday during the Oakland Athletics and Minnesota Twins game.

Dick Bremer, the Twins’ longtime play-by-play broadcaster, tweeted that a possum had entered the booth and he had to evacuate so an exterminator could remove the animal. He has been the lead television announcer for the Minnesota Twins since 1983.

Photos on social media show the possum climbing down a pole on the wall from a corner hole in the ceiling of the press box.

Monday’s incident wasn’t the first time a possum has invaded the Coliseum. In 2015, the animal crawled across the field in the ninth inning of a Blue Jays and A’s game.

Unfortunately for the A’s, the possum’s presence didn’t bring them much luck as they fell to the Twins, 3-1. Minnesota’s win on Monday marked the fourth time that the Twins have defeated the A’s this month.
