Root Root Root for the home team

One fan decides rules were made to be broken. He runs onto
the field and gets Rickey Henderson to sign his hat, then literally
jumps for joy.

That success under his belt, he heads for Tony Gwynn in right field,
where he catches a high five.

But by then the coppers are on to him. He zigs; he zags; he's at the 40; the 30...

Banzai! In a final flamboyant act, he slides into second base.
Or rather, he tries and doesn't make it.

The crowd roars as he's removed from the field, and first baseman
Wally Joyner rolls him a ball. An officer picks it up and hands it to the
naughty fan, a 28-year-old man who eventually is arrested
on the misdemeanor charge of unlawful entry.
