“Anyway, this would never happen in a major league ballpark today. Anybody running on the field today would get tackled hard by a platoon of security guards within 15 seconds. Back in those days, you could actually run out onto a ball field. Yeah, you would eventually get handcuffed and arrested but they’d be really mellow about it. More likely than not, they’d just march you out of the park, remove the handcuffs and tell you to go home.”
I remember when fans would run out onto the field during rain delays and slide on the tarp..
I remember Yankee fans all over the field after Chris Chambliss’s homerun in the 1976 ALCS. Chambliss had to come back later and touch home plate.
