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

Big League Stew

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.
