As the snake slithered across notebooks and laptop computers in the bottom of the fourth inning, fans stood up and laughed as they gazed into the press area.
A grounds crew member accustomed to such occurrences at Chain of Lakes ballpark, was summoned. He grabbed the snake and released it in the parking area behind the complex.

Blacksnakes won't hurt you unless you're a mouse or a rat.
On the other hand, maybe that explains the panic amongst the sportswriters....

whyhellothere, how do you get the faces to do that? I tried forever! You must have something more advanced than the crude skillz of Microsoft Paint.
Pleasure working with you, sir.
