Possum makes surprise appearance at Whataburger Field during Hooks game
As the Corpus Christi Hooks and Arkansas Travelers were finishing up their game on Wednesday, a possum came onto the field, delaying the grounds crew and fireworks.
It took the Hooks ground crew about five minutes to track down the critter before Hooks chief field superintendent Andrew Batts and a bat boy were able to corral it in a batting helmet and a jacket near the Hooks on-deck circle.

The Travelers won, 5-2, and the possum was released outside of Whataburger Field by the grounds crew.
