Philly fan tasered to the turf by field security

As you’ve probably heard by now, a young Phillies fanatic was taken to the mat via taser gun last night, after running onto the field, attempting to outrun a clowncar of security, and failing. Here’s the video below:
Interesting sidenote to the affair: According to USATODAY, the young man’s father said that his son, Steve Consalvi, 17, called and asked him for permission before running on the field. “He wasn’t drinking. He was not on drugs,” the father, Wayne, told the Philadelphia Inquirer. “He said, ‘Dad, can I run on the field?’ I said, ‘I don’t think you should, son.’”
This story will blow out with today’s garbage, but, before it does, can we agree that getting tasered, and crumbling gently onto lush, spring baseball grass may be entirely preferable to getting bodyslammed by LB James Harrison in late December in Ohio? Check this out below.
