The Orioles seem to have a mini-epidemic of fans running onto the field at Camden Yards.

It happened again in last night’s game against the Athletics, as a shirtless man galloped around the field during the seventh inning stretch. He made his way through the outfield, evaded security near second base, rounded third and slid head-first into home before home plate umpire Jeff Kellogg simply had enough.

Check out the video of the tackle below, shot from the perspective of a fan behind the first base dugout:

Nicely done, Mr. Kellogg. I’d imagine MLB frowns on umpires getting involved in these situations, just as they do with the players, but could that security be any more passive?
