Los Angeles Dodgers ball girl takes down fan who ran on the field during game
NY Post ^ | 9 Aug 2021 | Patrick Reilly

A Los Angeles Dodgers ball girl might have made the play of the game on Sunday when she tackled a fan who had run onto the field mid-ballgame.

trailed by a swarm of security close behind — run into foul territory in right field, where he was presumably trying to make his escape over the wall and back into the stands.

But not so fast.

As the fan approached the foul line, a ball girl tackled him, forcing him to flip over the wall, prompting a huge “OHHH!” from the crowd.

I think tripped?

Very satisfying.

The guy forgot to take his clothes off first. Typical millenial slacker...

I don’t think the ball-girl gets paid enough to deal with drunk/unruly/stupid fans

More girl power hype. It was more of a missed trip than a tackle. The wall took him down, not her.

She did not tackle him. She made a weak failed attempt to stop him.

Agreed. At best, she might have slowed him down a bit.

Looks like he enjoyed it. I’m guessing she plays fast-pitch softball. Those girls can be bruisers.

She tried, at least.

Probably a lot more than you would do. Good Lord, why are do so many on here have to be so f*cking negative about everything.

She’s a she. Some drunk guy sprinting right at her. Bigger than her. Meaning that if he hits her, she’s getting knocked silly. But......she tried to do something.

You’re like the other poster the other day knocking the entire US Olympic team over the actions and statements of less than 1% of the team. Completely disregarding the fact that, pretty much, to a man or woman, if the US won a medal the athlete was either praising God, talking about how proud they were to be an American, or both.

I am surprised she hasn’t been charged for assault yet

He flipped over that railing, due in part to the ball girl assisting. The way things are nowadays, he will sue for personal injury for going head first over the wall, and the Dodgers and ball girl will get sued, for their causing his injuries.

I hope I’m wrong but I can foresee such a lawsuit in our future.

The 70s were the pinnacle of streakers.

They had their own song.

Don’t look Ethel! …but it was too late.

It is not the girl problem. It is the false reporting. She did not tackle him
She messed up his attempt to scale the wall. That is good enough. But the headline is inflating what really happened.
Angry at the “read me”....”watch me” bait.

She barely touched him.

Also...isn’t ball girl racist?

—”She tried”
Hear! Hear!

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
T.R.

Wit until the plaintiff lawyers get ahold of it. They’ll claim that shove she gave him caused permanent physical and psychological damage.

With all that’s going on in this country? Why in the world would anyone give a flying f*ck?

If the headline was about someone curing cancer or something like that, I get it.
