MLB All-Star Game: Fan Rushes Field After Getting 1,000 Retweets

"Twitter made me do it!"

That's a fame-seeking fan's excuse after rushing the field during the middle of Tuesday night's MLB All-Star Game.

Our antagonistic proganonist's tale begins with this Tuesday afternoon tweet:

1000 RT's and ill run across the field.#ASG #CitiField

Sure enough, as you'll notice, the post racked up well over the required 1,000 retweets, and young @MasoneDylan stayed true to his word. He live-tweeted his approach to the field and even shared screenshots of a text-message exchange with his horrified mother before doing the deed

More on that in just a bit — but first, here's a bit of Instagram video of Dylan's fifth-inning stunt, and a security guard's rather epic takedown right next to second base. See how that guard gets low, wraps up the legs and drives with his hips?
