Minor League Fan Running Onto Field to Fight Pitcher Goes Viral

Fans are back in droves, and unfortunately as a result, fan incidents continue to escalate. During a minor league game between the Corpus Christi Hooks and Midland, a Midland pitcher hit a batter. Both teams didn’t seem to upset about the beanball, but one fan was not a happy camper, and ran onto the field to fight the pitcher.

The guy ended up getting shoved by another player.

Apparently this was an old video, and the guy who charged the mound is mentally disabled.

Ah the good ole days. I’m the pitcher in this clip, this fan is mentally disabled and this was not his first time doing this at Corpus Christi… my first thought was “does he have a weapon”… then faced the next batter like it was just another day😂 it’s a heck of a memory. https://t.co/t03wvXiHSl

This happened in July 2014. Have no idea why it’s circulating tonight. I covered the game. It was … memorable. https://t.co/u3sOhDF7Cm https://t.co/m6ZYXcw8t2 pic.twitter.com/iYZ7YtzjSm

The internet has so much content, it’s hard to keep it all straight.

What’s old is always new again eventually…
