09:58 AM ET 04.28 | For the fourth time this early season, a fan ran onto the Camden Yards field, this time in the middle of the seventh. As the Baltimore City Police began their required collapsing seal of the diamond, the bare-chested man ran down the third base line and slid headfirst into home plate. Just as quickly as the guy stood up, he went right back down, thanks to a blindside hit delivered by plate umpire Jeff Kellogg, a tackle worthy of the night's NFL draft. Kellogg's snap, crack and pop -- which surely will be met with discipline by Major League Baseball -- was greeted with delight from the bundled-up, announced crowd of 18,297.

I hope MLB doesn't discipline him. It wasn't helmet-to-helmet.

I just don't see the point, when you know what awaits you.

I have a sneaking suspicion alcohol may have been involved.

Ya think? Must have been for him to take off his shirt and reveal that white, scrawny upper torso to 18+K people and subsequent viewers!

He gets to go to jail shirtless as well. He'll be the belle of the ball.

Wonder if he's a poster on FN!

Actually he is one of the out of work Secret Service employees.
