Yankees fan gets wrestled to the ground by security after sprinting around the field during Angels game
One New York Yankees fan appeared to have a little too much fun watching their team play against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday evening.
In the top of the seventh inning in the contest, a fan wearing a No. 99 Yankees jersey - the number worn by Aaron Judge - was seen running across the outfield while holding his phone up, possibly recording.
The man was able to avoid stadium personnel and security guards for some time, all while almost making contact with Yankees centerfielder Cody Bellinger.
The fan then vaulted himself into the seats down the first base line in an attempt to get away from security guards who were in hot pursuit.
Unfortunately for the fan, he wasn't able to get out of the reach of security - who grabbed him by his jersey and then dragged him to the ground.
After restraining the fan on the dirt, a pair of police officers came over and slapped handcuffs on the disruptive attendee.
The fan tried escaping, but was dragged out of the stands by security and detained
It's unclear if the fan was arrested or if he was ejected from the ballpark. It's likely that he could face a lifetime ban from Angels Stadium.
The fan ended up missing the end of an incredibly close game, which the Yankees won 1-0.
The only run scored came in the first inning when shortstop Anthony Volpe hit a sacrifice fly to bring home first baseman Paul Goldschmidt.
The Yankees (35-20) completed a sweep of the Angels to win their fifth straight game of a West Coast road trip.
New York won't be traveling far for their next series as they head to Chavez Ravine to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers from Friday through Sunday before returning home.

Scottie Scheffler emulates Tiger Woods with latest dominant win
World No 1 Scottie Scheffler emulated Tiger Woods by successfully defending the Memorial Tournament title at Muirfield Village. Only five-time winner Woods had previously retained the crown between 1999 and 2001, but Scheffler claimed a second consecutive success with a four-stroke victory over Ben Griffin. "Well, you did it again," tournament host Jack Nicklaus told him walking off the green. Scheffler has now won three times in four starts after wins at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and PGA Championship. "It's pretty cool," Scheffler told CBS Sports after his 16th PGA Tour victory. "It's always a hard week as it's so challenging to play this tournament. "I battled really hard over the weekend and Ben made things interesting down the stretch, but overall it was a great week." Scheffler took a one-shot lead into Sunday and the chasing pack failed to put him under any concerted pressure. Birdies at the seventh, 11th and 15th gave Scheffler breathing space in a final round two-under par 70, with a solitary dropped shot coming at the 10th – his first bogey in 32 holes. Griffin closed with a 73 to finish one ahead of Austria's Sepp Straka, with Nick Taylor a shot back in fourth. "You know Scottie's probably going to play a good round of golf. The guy's relentless,' said Straka after the round. 'He loves competition, and he doesn't like giving up shots. But it's one of those courses where it can always happen, so you got to be prepared for it. I felt like I gave myself a lot of chances to kind of make a push." England's Tommy Fleetwood was tied 16th, Scotland's Robert MacIntyre tied 20th but Shane Lowry, of Ireland, dropped down the leaderboard for a share of 23rd place with a disappointing 77. Meanwhile, Rickie Fowler had his first top 10 of the year at just the right time. He made par on the 18th to tie for seventh, earning him the lone available qualification spot for The Open at Royal Portrush in July. Fowler tied with Brandt Snedeker at one-under but gets the one Open exemption available based on a higher world ranking – Fowler at No 124 and Snedeker at No 430. "That's one I've wanted on the schedule," said Fowler, who faces a 36-hole qualifier for the US Open on Monday.
