Well, you don’t see this often. The Pacers vs. Clippers game was delayed twice last night because of a bat.

At least the Pacers media team had a good time with it…

In fact, someone even started a twitter account for the bat:
I think I speak for all the NBA referees when I say, that “blind as a bat” insult is getting old.

The good news is, the Indianapolis Pacers pulled out a victory, bat and all.
Two bat delays. Beat that! #Pacers pic.twitter.com/ZSRrDBJGio
