The 2021 New York Yankees have been the streakiest team in Major League Baseball this season.
The streakiest fans, though? These streakers in Houston.
And, yes, there’s an oversized orange cowboy hat involved.
For any Yankee fan looking for a bit of levity as they chew through their fingernails on this final weekend of the regular season, we’re proud to present to you some maroons from H-Town, who became the record-setting 30,000th folks to believe they might be able to outrun a fleet of cops on an active baseball field.
You won’t believe what happens next.
One of these good old boys seems to escape the worst-case scenario, but the other one gets absolutely bodied to the turf. Sing it with me! “And I’m proooouuudd to be an Americannnnnn…”
Yankees fans will enjoy this Astros fan getting body-slammed after streaking.
After this Astros fan was body-slammed to the grass by a uniformed police officer, who wants to bet that he yelled that he was living “rent-free” in the cop’s head?
After this Astros fan was body-slammed to the grass by a uniformed police officer, you think Carlos Correa went, “One bang, fastball coming”?
After this Astros fan was body-slammed to the grass by a uniformed police officer, do you think he told the cop to stop because he was “shy”?
Unfortunately, I must inform you that the other fan you see running around the field was actually extremely good at evading capture, and deked security into some pretty pathetic capture attempts.
Again, it gives me no pleasure to announce this.
Surely, Houston fans will be in my mentions after this because they have nothing better to do than read articles on Yankees sites while begging me to “unseal the letter” with their free hand (the other one’s in a Cheetos bag).
Hope they enjoy! But let this be a lesson to them, because the playoffs are coming, and you just let security get their steps in ahead of the big game. Once the spotlight’s on Houston, rest assured, they’ll be ready for Round 2.
If you make it that far.
