A New York Yankees fan did his best to evade security while running on the field, and he caught it all on his phone.
In the bottom of the seventh with his Bronx Bombers up 1-0 (the same score they’d win by) against the Los Angeles Angels, a fan pulled off a bold strategy by rushing onto the field of play.
The fan, wearing a pinstriped Aaron Judge jersey, sprinted from center to right field and even managed to juke security in the process right in front of right fielder Cody Bellinger.

He appeared to record the ordeal on his phone, and hopped back into the stands, thinking he was scot-free.
But that only lasted so long as security dragged him back onto the warning track and apprehended him. He left the field in cuffs, assisted by security.
The fan missed the Yankees winning their 16th game in their last 20 contests as they took a seven-game lead in the American League East.
Clarke Schmidt allowed four hits over six sharp innings, and Ian Hamilton, Tim Hill and Mark Leiter got the final nine outs to preserve the shutout.

New York is 35-20, which is the third-best record in the league, and their AL East lead is the largest in baseball.
