After Saturday night’s loss to the Boston Red Sox, two Arizona Diamondbacks reporters, MLB.com’s Steve Gilbert and Fox Sports Arizona’s Todd Walsh, went down to the visitor’s clubhouse for interviews and then went to travel back to the press box. The elevator in the 101-year-old Fenway Park decided to break down and the two were stuck for 20 minutes. Naturally, the two decided to tweet about the entire ordeal.

The elevator repair man said for us to "hang in there." Is that gallows humor?

They are drilling through the roof of the elevator car to get us.

In case you're wondering, this is what an elevator shaft looks like at Fenway Park. pic.twitter.com/AfZNe2jrJv

My fav part of being rescued from the elevator at Fenway? Our hero saying as he dropped in from the ceiling "You're not tweeting are ya?"

Then on the following afternoon, the two returned to the elevator.

Good thing neither one of them was claustrophobic.
