A baseball-loving bear stopped by an American Legion baseball game in Juneau, Alaska, on Sunday.

An actual Bad News Bear interrupted an American Legion baseball game in Juneau, Alaska, on Sunday.

Local Larry Johansen was filming the 5th inning of a game between West Post 1 and Juneau Post 25 when players spotted a large black bear walking along the outside of the fence.

A caption to the YouTube video notes that officials halted the game until they "were sure what the bear's intentions were."

Luckily, the furry baseball fan passed by the field without incident.

The bear wandered around in the outfield looking confused, didn't get any hits, and generally looked like he didn't belong there.

He'll be signed with the Mariners by next Tuesday.

Is that a professional cameraman? Why is it so hard for people recording unusual or news-worthy scenes to hold the camera steady, at a decent range of zoom, and in focus?

It’s like they all become three-year-olds with no camera control whatsoever.
