Who was that teenager that jumped into the netting behind homeplate at Yankee Stadium a couple years ago. Just wanted to show his friends he wasn't afraid to do it I guess.

[POLO GROUNDS 1957]

That guy is nuts for doing that.but i remmber when i went to old comiskey park in 1991 while they were tearing here down. i got to go into the ballpark to take photos while the demolition was going on. i went up to the roof of old comskey to take photo and the roof was shaking because of them taking down the right field corner of the ballpark.i got off of the roof in a hurry after taking about 4 or 5 photos.

I just checked my comiskey park 1910 yahoo group and i have not yet posted those photos.i will post some more in the near future. by the way i got permission to go into comiskey park in 1991 by the demolition company. i kept on calling them from detroit and they told me that i could go into the ballpark.

That guy is nowhere near as nuts as the aforementioned teenage who jumped onto the netting at YS last year.

[JordanDL3891]

That guy in the pic had a little to much to drink.

[soberdennis]

I guess you have to do something when your team is in the middle of a 16-3 shellacking.
Of course the Bucs had the last laugh.

[Padday]

It's great when that sort of stuff happens at major sporting events like that time at Wimbledon a couple of years ago when two people just walked onto Centre Court during a break and just started playing between them.:laugh

[TonyK]

I hope the photographer didn't walk out on the ledge to take his picture!

[KCGHOST]

That guy isn't the brightest bulb on the chandelier.

[bluezebra]

Seventh game of the 1960 Series. A guy I worked with in Chicago was a Yankee fan. He lived on the first floor of a two-flat apartment building, and his sister and brother-in-law on the second floor.

Top of the ninth. Yogi Berra hits a home run to tie the game. My friend runs up stairs to laugh at his bro-in-law, who was pulling for the Pirates. As he walked through the door, Mazeroski's walk-off home run is sailing over the wall. He puts his foot through the color TV set. Set him basck quite a few bucks.

Is that that schmuck who landed in the backstop netting a few seasons ago? Then he sat there like a little girl holding his head in his hands before security lassoed him into the mezzanine by his trousers. He left a nice hole in the net too.

IIRC he's banned for life from RYS/NYS.

Well... banned from ordering tickets by credit card, maybe. Hard to stop a cash walk-up.

The photo's allotted time on this forum must have expired (or something like that). If you still have it, runningshoes, please post it again.

You are correct. From the New York Post, September 20, 2006...


STADIUM NET NUT AVOIDS JAIL

A Bronx judge yesterday sentenced the dopey teen who dived onto a net strung above field-level seats at Yankee Stadium to three years of probation.

"The defendant is permanently barred from Yankee Stadium, both the old stadium and the new stadium," Supreme Court Judge Troy Webber added.

Scott Harper, 19, of White Plains, had no comment as he left the courtroom with his mother and lawyer.

He had pleaded guilty to second-degree reckless endangerment for his Aug. 9, 2005 leap 40 feet from an upper deck into the net, which was strung above hundreds of spectators.

The Yankees had no comment.

I'm sure Scott Harper could go to a game. They don't keep blacklists of banned fans at the gates. But if the guy is recognized by security or police, he could be arrested for trespassing and face additional penalties for violating the ban.

NEW YORK -- A fan jumped from the upper deck during the eighth inning of Tuesday night's White Sox-Yankees game in the Bronx, delaying the game for four minutes.
The fan, 18-year-old Scott Harper, climbed up the net on his own power after spending several minutes sitting with a dazed look on his face. After reaching the stands, he was led away by stadium security before being taken from the ballpark on a gurney.

According to police, Harper was at the game with three friends, and the four had been discussing whether the protective netting would support Harper's weight. In the bottom of the eighth inning, with the Yankees trying to mount a late rally, Harper jumped over the railing on the upper deck, landing on the netting behind home plate.

Players and coaches from both teams saw Harper on the netting and went to the top of their dugouts to see what had happened. Fans cheered and snapped pictures while Harper sat on the netting with his head in his hands.

"I didn't see him fall. But I looked up and he was bouncing. I saw him bouncing on the net. That was crazy," said Chicago reliever Dustin Hermanson. "I've heard one other story about that happening before. I don't know what he did. He's lucky he landed on the net rather than somewhere else. Just think about those people sitting below the net and what could have happened."

"I've never seen anything like that before," said White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen.

Yankees manager Joe Torre had seen this very sight before, as another fan jumped from the upper deck on to the netting during the 2000 season.

"I was hoping I wouldn't see it again," Torre said. "I'm just glad that he was able to walk out."

Harper, from Armonk, N.Y., was taken from the ballpark wearing a neck brace. He was sent to Lincoln Hospital for observation, then placed under arrest.

Harper could be charged with reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct. A police spokesperson declined to say whether alcohol was involved in the incident.

"That's New York; anything can happen," said Guillen. "That's the first time I've ever seen that. Thank God that kid was all right."

I can only imagine if that:

a) net had a little more slack in it, and
b) it was Bat Day at the stadium.

:eek:

That net was designed to stop foul-tips, not human bodies. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
