It goes without saying that those who interrupt a perfectly good baseball game to run onto the field are morons. Still, on occasion it can make for interesting antics. Wednesday’s game was such an event, when a half-clothed streaking YouTube idiot decided to run on the field and see how long he could last.
The young cretin was able to dodge stadium police long enough that it got Justin Verlander and Ervin Santana smiling.

The end wasn’t so pleasant for the streaker, though. After a deft evasion of a cop, he tired and came to a grinding halt. The tackle was convincing and rightfully deserved.
