Fan falls onto field at Seattle Mariners game while security chases another fan on the field
Security guards don’t get paid enough. A recent situation at a Seattle Mariners game couldn’t be better proof.
On Wednesday night, fans got more entertainment than they paid for in the Mariners’ 1-0 triumph over the New York Yankees. In the middle of the 10th inning, a fan jumped onto the field and began to jog around like it was his backyard.
The security staff at the stadium quickly reminded him it wasn’t. It didn’t take long for the bouncers to chase the flannel-wearing assailant into the left-field corner. Then, the already odd situation took a turn for the weirder.
A seemingly innocent bystander attempted to stop the culprit, reaching out from the stands. He reached too far. In a matter of moments, the good-willed fan ended up with his face in the dirt. Now, the muscle at T-Mobile Park had two baseball enthusiasts to clean off the field.
The rush of adrenaline isn’t worth the risk. In some states, the risky behavior can be met with $25,000 fines and up to a year in jail time. In other territory, the 15 seconds of fame can simply lead to a night in jail.
No matter the consequences, the wild delays of game will always awaken a dead crowd. Some fans cheered for the delusional fan, yelling at each juke. Other diehards rolled their eyes, annoyed by the stop in play.
Love it or hate it, spectators jumping on fields, court, pitches and more is tradition; a tradition that’s here to stay.
