MLB Game Paused Over Flying Drone, Players Pulled Off Field
MLB Game Paused Over Flying Drone ... Players Pulled Off Field
As if 2020 couldn't get any weirder ... the Minnesota Twins vs. Pittsburgh Pirates game was paused Tuesday afternoon -- and it's all 'cause a drone flew over the field.
The scene was wild ... in the middle of the fifth inning, umpires pulled players off the diamond when they noticed a flying object cruising high above Target Field in Minneapolis.

The drone hovered over the ballpark for several minutes -- causing a lengthy delay in the game.
Of course, drone flying over ballparks during play is illegal even without fans in attendance -- the FAA still prohibits it -- and MLB was obviously worried about player safety.
No one was hurt, however ... and the unmanned aircraft eventually left the scene and play resumed.
