ByThe Associated Press says that a shirtless fan interupted the Seattle Mariners – Tampa Bay Rays game during the ninth inning. The man climbed out of the stands and ran into center field with stadium security and personnel in pursuit.
The AP says play was held up for 3 minutes, then resumed after the man was tackled and removed fromt eh field.
Rays manager Joe Maddon took the interruption as a sign of success for his team.
“It’s always a sign of having made it, in a sense, when you start getting streakers or semi-streakers during a game,” Maddon said. “I don’t think they streak at last-place teams’ games.”
By the way, the Rays won 3-2.
