Video: Bat Boy Tackles Fan On Field

Nearly forgot about this. Last night, in the top of the eighth as David Ortiz was about to bat, a fan ran onto the field. I'm pretty sure the guy was running the bases. He ended up making a head first slide into home. When he got up, he was promptly tackled by the Red Sox bat boy -- who also managed to get in a few punches.

After the moron was hauled off -- and after both teams gave the kid a standing ovation -- FSN actually showed a replay of the tackle. Ortiz was amused.



Thanks to Aaron Gleeman.
