Weasel of The Week: Mark Kirsch

 Study the face of this week's Weasel:


Mark Kirsch is the star of the cable series, Man Vs. Impossible, and has performed some strongman-worthy stunts, like pulling airplanes.

However, over the weekend in Kansas City, Kirsch went from hero to zero in a matter of minutes.

During the Royals-Padres game, San Diego's Juan Soto homered, and his drive landed in an area of the bleachers occupied by teenager Bruce Williams, who was celebrating his birthday. Kirsch, for whatever reason, decided to steal the baseball, and, after being confronted by Williams, refused to return it, opting to try to swap it out for a pair of Royals jerseys (how he acquired those has also been called to question), but Williams wasn't having it.

Kirsch, who tried out for the independent Savannah Bananas earlier this year, left, unrepentant about this ill-advised stunt. Williams, however, was rewarded by the Royals, who were able to have Soto, a visiting superstar, sign a ball for him.

Kirsch, 41, is one of these social media savvy clowns who lives for attention. The Royals initially said he wouldn't be banned from Kaufman Stadium, but now that this case has garnered national attention, he should either make good on his actions, or face banishment. If you can permanently ban a drunken goof for running onto the field (which happens a few times a year), you can also ban a Weasel who puts himself ahead of others. Mark Kirsch has to face the consequences of his actions sooner rather than later.
