Phillies pitchers couldn’t contain themselves after security brutally tackled a fan on the field

Prime Brian Dawkins working Phillies security.

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.

A fan on the field evaded security to make a daring escape during the Phillies-Marlins game

A legendary escape.

It’s never a smart decision to run on the field during a sporting event. It’s an easy way to get arrested, spend the night in jail and face a long ban from a stadium.

That being said, if a fan manages to evade security after running on the field, that fan should be given a free pass. He or she escaped. They won. There’s no need to launch a manhunt over someone interrupting a baseball game. Unfortunately for one fan, the folks at loanDepot Park don’t share that philosophy.

Ahead of the ninth inning of Monday’s game between the Phillies and Marlins, a fan seated in the outfield jumped down from the stands, ran around the outfield and escaped security by showing off his parkour skills.

I mean, that was genuinely impressive.

From the initial video, it seemed like the fan had successfully gotten away as he ran through the concourses to exit the stadium. But a TikTok video from his friend’s perspective showed that this fan was ultimately arrested outside the stadium.

To be fair, if you’re hoping to escape by blending in with a large crowd, a Marlins home game is not the place to do it. On top of that, the Phillies rallied and won the game after that interruption. Still, fans admired the effort (especially Phillies fans) even if it was a terrible idea.

An 11-year-old White Sox fan ran on the field and, no, security did not tackle him

That kids is grounded for SO LONG.

The Chicago White Sox — like all Major League Baseball players — are told to avoid fans when they run onto the field. This policy is due to safety concerns following a scary on-field attack involving former Kansas City Royals first base coach Tom Gamboa in 2002.

But nobody ever expected to see a small child breach security barriers and go for a victory lap on the field. Well, it happened on Wednesday night, and even White Sox center fielder Adam Engel wasn’t sure how he was supposed to react. Security guards also took a different approach.

During the ninth inning against the Astros, an 11-year-old fan managed to run around the outfield at Guaranteed Rate Field and went to hug Engel. Security — which typically deploys full-speed tackles to stop on-field intrusions — managed to calmly walk the young fan off the field.

Still not sure how that even happened. After all, small children tend to be slow. He must have caught an area with little security presence. Nonetheless, Engel told reporters after the game about the entire encounter.

“Engel, Engel, I love you. Can I have a hug,” the fan said, according to Engel.

Fans, of course, had plenty of thoughts about the scene in Chicago. Some wanted to see a tackle from security.

WATCH: Fan runs into the end zone during James Robinson’s touchdown run against Houston

The fan was running through the end zone during Jacksonville’s second-quarter scoring play against the Houston Texans.

Jacksonville running back James Robinson found the end zone in the second quarter of Sunday’s home matchup against the Houston Texans for the first time since Nov. 21. But while it’s been a big day for Robinson in the team’s first game after the firing of coach Urban Meyer, it was a bigger day for one of the fans at TIAA Bank Field, who entered the field and was running through the end zone at the same time that Robinson scored on a one-yard run.

The fan appeared to be signaling for Lawrence to throw the ball to him in the end zone, but it was a handoff to Robinson instead. The intruder was tackled and removed from the field after that, but he managed to be a part of Jacksonville’s first touchdown play in two weeks.

According to ESPN’s Mike DiRocco, the fan will be arrested and charged for the incident, which begs the question, was it worth it?

Perhaps not, but regardless, when you have a battle between a pair of 2-11 teams, you can expect that things are going to get a bit weird. Sunday’s matchup between AFC bottom-feeders was no different, and Jacksonville should just be grateful that a 12-men-on-the-field penalty wasn’t called for having a member of the Duval contingent join them for the score.
