Angry fan rushes field, tries to fight minor league pitcher (Video)

Big League Stew

An angry (and reportedly drunk) fan rushed the field at Sunday's Double-A game between the Corpus Christi Hooks and Midland Rockhounds and tried to fight Midland pitcher Blake Hassebrock. Hassebrock had just hit Hooks batter Telvin Nash with a pitch. Midland was down 9-0 at the time.

The fan, identified by KZTV as Nikolas Swope, charged Hassebrock and made the usual motions dudes make when they want to fight other dudes. One of Hassebrock's teammates pushed Swope out of the way, then more of Hassebrock's teammates and umpires surrounded Swope until he was escorted off the field. He was arrested and is now accused of criminal trespassing and threatening assault, per KZTV.

...

It would appear that Swope was wearing an Oakland Raiders T-shirt during his ill-advised trip onto the field, so feel free to make your own jokes about that.

This would have gotten a lot more support if it was actually a Raider game. All the fans were being very discouraging.

I hope they throw the book at him.

Liquid confidence I'm guessing?

Hmm, good point. I guess we should have bum rushed him.

****ing Raider fans. They all need to play in traffic.

You can't really blame the guy for having the balls to do what every Hooks player should have done after that first pitch of the half-inning. Check out where the catcher's mitt is set up and where the pitch goes. The announcer didn't say anything about the ump issuing a warning to that pitcher and both benches, so he was absolutely clueless about the whole situation.

On a side note, however, I'm wondering if C.C. has a regularly-scheduled (i.e., every Thursday home game) promotion for hookers; i.e. BOGO free, "hat" night, free wet T-shirt give-away, etc.

The worst fan beating I've seen was during a Buffalo Sabres game. We were watching on TV and there was a brawl on the ice. All of a sudden you see a fan rush the Sabres bench and Rob Ray (who was an all-time enforcer) just punches him like 20 times.

He beat that dude like a cop beats a bag lady on the interstate.

He was pretty funny to watch. They had to make a rule informally called the Rob Ray rule that said you couldn't take off your shirt on the ice.
When he was about to get in a fight he'd quick pull his jersey and pads over his head and fight bare chested.

you don't have to guess, if you read the tiny article it says so.

**TinyEvel** · 07-15-2014, 10:51 AM

I thought that was funny. Though, maybe because the dude looks/acts like Will Farrel.
