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

Phillies Marlins Miami

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.

This was how Twitter reacted

He’s a Philadelphia sports hero now.
