A Chicago Cubs fan messed around and found out as he totally embarrassed himself during a game against the Chicago White Sox on Saturday night.
The fan needed to be carted off at the end of a bizarre sequence that saw him invade the pitch and then hurt himself so badly, he was unable to walk. The incident took place during the ninth inning at Guaranteed Rate field.
According to Josh Frydman, who shared a video of the wild scene, the fan tried to jump back over the left center wall and hurt his foot after a fan who had come onto the field before him did a good job of evading security before getting tackled
“Waiting outside the Cubs clubhouse, the injured fan was being wheeled by with a cast/brace around his lower leg. As he passed us he shouts, ‘TMZ baby!” Lol,” Frydman added.
The injury was severe enough to hold up play as the pitch invader receiver assistance.

Chicago Cubs Fan Got Zero Love From The Broadcast
The fan would not get the publicity he wanted if not for social media, as the FOX broadcast refused to show him – although the announcers, Kevin Kubler and AJ Pierzinski, tried to relay what they were looking at.
“During the mid-inning changeover, a fan came out of the field, gave everybody a bit of a run, played keep-away,” Kugler said. “And there looks like a second fan on the field, on the track, in left center field, where imitation was perhaps not the sincerest form of flattery. Because he didn’t get very far.”
“I think he’s hurt,” Pierzynski observed. “He looks hurt. I think they’re going to have to bring the cart out to get him off the field.”
“You plan all game to do something stupid,” Kugler said after some back and forth with his partner. “And then you really do something stupid.”
“Well, it’s one way to stem the Cubs’ momentum,” Pierzynski suggested.
We’re good people here, but we still find it hard to feel sorry for someone who goes looking for trouble and then actually finds it.
