My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #964

In The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #964 from the issue of October 20, 2025, we are looking at a baseball park's outfield. Two groundskeepers watch an outfielder chasing a fly ball into a wild environment with waiting bears. The grounds crewman who is holding a rake speaks. My entry appears below. The drawing is by Ed Himelblau.

"We might be in for some overtime."



These captions didn't get out of the batter's box.

"Those bears are bad news."
"I call that one the Green Monster."
"What's YOUR favorite postapocalyptic sport?"
"Uh-oh. He's approaching the warning track."
