During the bottom of the ninth of last Friday’s Astros-Mets game, this dude jetted out onto the field and pulled out some serious skills to make it up Tal’s Hill, over the outfield fence, up onto the grandstand garden, and finally over the wall into the arcade and safety (presumably).

At the risk of pissing off my mom and sister, who are diehard ‘Stros fans, I’ll venture this is the most exciting thing that will happen at Minute Maid Park this season.

Side note: Make sure to watch to the end to see how utterly wasted your cameraman is.

    I was watching the game but of course they didn’t show the guy. They never show people running out onto the field because they don’t want to reward that kind of behavior. Or whatever. However, the announcers were going on about how amazingly the guy was eluding the cops, and it took a really long time before the game got started again, so I figured the miscreant must have really led them a merry chase.

    I hope he got away! And thanks for showing what Major League Baseball didn’t want you to see! (Glad the spectator had his camera going and still had enough wherewithal to film the whole thing :-) )

    PS. Sadly, you’re probably right about that being the most exciting thing at MMP this year. Last year, the best thing hands down was Astros catcher Humberto Quintero throwing a runner out at second after a walk moved him there. He just got careless loitering around the bag. Loved it!

    Here’s the same video, but with Super Mario sound effects for added pleasure! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aet2-g-_OY8

      Has anyone started a bail fund for him yet? I’ve got a couple bucks for a worthy cause….

      I would LOVE to know how I’m an asshole! HAHAHA, let’s see what my motivation was here: i’m videotaping Carlos Lee because he might hit a game-tying homerun and a random idiot runs out on the field… so that makes ME the asshole! I love how unbelievably asinine some people can be on the internet.

      How about you learn how to relax and keep your comments to yourself buddy.
