The St. Louis Streaker in Three Easy Tweets
Last night, during the seventh inning of the Phillies-Cardinals game in St. Louis, a gentleman emerged, sans pants, from the Busch Stadium stands and into the hearts of Americans everywhere. (And, immediately after that, into the arms of Busch Stadium security.)
For those readers unable to witness the event firsthand, luckily Twitter is a thing that exists. Let’s relive the excitement!
First, from Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia, we get this Action News Alert:
Streaker is resisting arrest

Next, from Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports, a detailed scouting report:
I’d say the streaker was more of a north-south runner than anything. Decent speed. Lost his footing on cuts. Should’ve at least worn spikes.

And finally — and most pointedly — from the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Bob Brookover:
Ball two.

My only regret is that it wasn’t me. And that I looked.
