Orioles to Sign Cat From Field to One-Year Contract

Fans Enamoured with Feline's Performance

This is Not a Drill

The Baltimore Orioles are planning to sign the cat that ran onto the field during Tuesday night's game to a one-year contract, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan. The cat, which has yet to be named, became an instant fan favorite after it darted onto the field in the bottom of the sixth inning and proceeded to chase after a fly ball. The cat's antics delighted the crowd and helped the Orioles to a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said after the game that he was "impressed" by the cat's performance.

"He's a natural athlete," Hyde said.

The Orioles are expected to announce the signing of the cat on Wednesday. The cat will be the first feline to play for the Orioles since the team's mascot, the Oriole Bird, in 1979.

The cat's signing is sure to be a popular move with Orioles fans. The team has struggled in recent years, but the cat's presence is sure to bring some joy to fans.
