It's always stupid at a Phillies game

If there was a downer to Philadelphia's win over Atlanta on Monday night, it might be because the game was stopped for a couple of minutes when a fan, dressed in a red zentai bodysuit and brown shoes, ran onto the field. He treated the security like it was the Eagles' 3rd string defense, but didn't count on Atlanta's Matt Diaz interceding.

A fan in a zentai suit at a game is nothing new, but they usually restrict themselves to the bleachers where they know the cameras will eventually pan to them anyway. Apparently, this particular clown didn't learn thing one from previous incidents at Citizens Bank Park earlier this year. It's one thing to take a dare and run onto the field when you're out with your buds, but you're spoiling everyone else's fun, including the players.

This sort of stuff never happens at Valleycats games, thankfully.

Updated, 9:34 PM (ET): I had the video up earlier, but when I logged on an hour ago, I found that MLB Advanced Media had put a claim on the clip, and so it was taken off YouTube, and thus, I've pulled it down as well.
