Angry fan rushes field, tries to fight minor league pitcher (Video)

An angry (and reportedly drunk) fan rushed the field at Sunday's Double-A game between the Corpus Christi Hooks and Midland Rockhounds and tried to fight Midland pitcher Blake Hassebrock. Hassebrock had just hit Hooks batter Telvin Nash with a pitch. Midland was down 9-0 at the time.

The fan, identified by KZTV as Nikolas Swope, charged Hassebrock and made the usual motions dudes make when they want to fight other dudes. One of Hassebrock's teammates pushed Swope out of the way, then more of Hassebrock's teammates and umpires surrounded Swope until he was escorted off the field. He was arrested and is now accused of criminal trespassing and threatening assault, per KZTV.

...

It would appear that Swope was wearing an Oakland Raiders T-shirt during his ill-advised trip onto the field, so feel free to make your own jokes about that.

He didn't look so confident after all 25 guys were there waiting to pummel him LMAO

That guy looked like he was ready to kick some ass until he got about 6 feet from the pitcher. I guess they look bigger when you get up close.

#7 put him on the turf. LOL.

What a **** that fan is. Nice bald spot.

EDIT: What happened to the filtering? ****, ****, ****, ****, ****

You have to pick your battles, and this guy made the call that a Midland-Corpus Christi minor league baseball game was where he would make his stand. He's willing to compromise on issues like the Middle East and abortion and government corruption, but on this particular night he discovered the line that could not be crossed.

That's a true fan.

someone's going to have a gun one of these days.

I'm surprised non of you did this to Matt Cassel.

BCD was his bodyguard. Nobody was getting over that wall.

Any time you get within five yards of him, he throws the ball at you.

I'd say that would be the safest place to be, unless you are eight feet tall.

LMAO
