Moment Yankees fan is brutally dragged out of the stands by security after wild field invasion
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.

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.
