Umpire takes out streaker at the ol' ballgame

4/28/2012

​Usually when idiots run on the field during a sporting event, they are eventually pounded to submission by security. Last night, umpire Jeff Kellogg wasn't waiting for the peacekeepers. After the streaker completed a shirtless slide into home plate in Baltimore, Kellogg speared him to the ground, to the delight of an already buzzing crowd. "The umpire strikes back," wrote one punny YouTube commenter, while the PA announcer credited Kellogg with a putout on the play.

The incident came weeks after a streaker dressed as Batman scampered across the same field. Maybe Kellogg's linebacker audition will prevent any more sequels.
