That batboy is one of my older bro's best friends...he plays rugby, hence the full contact nature of his tackle. Gotta love it!

I was at this game. I remember this perfectly

I was at that game -- it was hilarious. It was also interesting how a local channel (forget which one) later stated that fans gave an ovation to the batboy for tackling them, whereas all the evidence points to them clapping at the conclusion of that hilarious run on the field.

Just for the record: Teams don't bring bat boys, at least not to the dome. They are Twins' bat boys and they just get assigned to the opposing team and given a uni. Apparently opposing bat boy is a sweet gig because the bat boys actually do a lot behind the scenes all week (Like laundry, getting things ready in their lockers, etc) and they get pretty nice tips at the end of the series.

I was there, I'm pretty sure they were Twins fans cause the one guy was crazy excited when he high fived Torii Hunter.

i like how the old lady a few rows in front of you is clapping for the kid sliding into home... the media always makes you believe this is plain wrong, but it is absolutely hilarious in my opinion.....

the guy that gets layed out got a high five from torii hunter right at the beginning of the video

Guarantee the bat boy thought he would win the team's respect

Yes he did, and the next day he contacted a local news paper and publicly challenged the bat boy to a fight.

They should have "fan running on the feild appreciation night"

their parents must be so proud...

It's funny how if the fan remotely touches a player on the field they'd go to prison, while if one of the players were to beat the shit out of the fan, he'd get praised as a hero.

i was soooooo at this game!!!!! hahahahahahahaha best part is before the video was showing the people that were running did a little juke move to the cop stopped in front of him then went on his merry way running and when the guy does a flying slide into home plate and the gay ass bat boy tackles him! its funny to look back at how long ago this was i was!
