Of course, a loose raccoon is probably a bit easier to capture than an alligator.
Bobby Parnell says the raccoon -- a baby -- ran into a cage and has been apprehended.

Maybe the dugout alligator and the clubhouse raccoon are friends?
The startling takeaway is that there was a cage that just happened to be available. "I guess they have a problem," Bobby Parnell joked.

It is important for any professional sports organization to have a raccoon cage available at all times. That's just common sense.
