The entire city of Philadelphia is justifiably excited about the Phillies’ dominant playoff run thus far. They’re up 2-0 on the Diamondbacks after already eliminating the first-place Atlanta Braves. The vibes are just next level in Philly right now.
But as pumped as fans are about the team, they should know not to run onto the field during/after a postseason (or any) game. It won’t end well.
Shortly after the Phillies finished off their Game 2 blowout of the Diamondbacks, a fan ran onto the field at Citizens Bank Park as the Phillies bullpen was making their way back to the dugout and clubhouse.
They ended up getting a front-row view of the hit of the year.

The fan evidently thought he was in the open field and coasted to celebrate in front of the Phillies pitchers. Little did he know that another security guard was coming full speed at him from the blind side. That security guard would completely level the fan, and look at the reaction from the Phillies pitchers.
I mean, they were shook up. One fell to the ground — he just couldn’t contain himself. Jose Alvarado particularly enjoyed the tackle as well.
Despite the brutal hit from security, the fan appeared to be fine as photos showed him laughing while police escorted him off the field.
But hey, if the Eagles are looking for help on defense, they know where to look. Fans were also in disbelief of that tackle.
