On Might 5, a Toronto Blue Jays fan named Joe made a regrettable choice that many followers earlier than him have made — he ran onto the sphere during a recreation. He was tackled by security at the Rogers Centre, taken to jail and charged with legal mischief.
With many of those followers-appearing-a-idiot circumstances, things often cease after that. However this one is one thing particular. Seems the cops who took Joe into custody wrote a hilarious arrest report empathizing with him because of how disappointing the “hapless” Blue Jays have been, even again in Might. Joe was “giving Jays fans a brief respite” from their agony, the police wrote.

On May 5, 2013 at approximately three:18 PM the Toronto Blue jays have been surprisingly winning towards the underrated Seattle Mariners. Our hapless Jays limped alongside to the underside of the eighth inning. At one point, the Jays were thought of World Series contenders. One can almost forgive the accused for his under described actions.
Luckily, the accused ran onto the sphere from degree 100 and wasn’t compelled to jump from the five hundred stage out of sheer frustration.
In any event, the accused earlier than the courtroom, Joseph [Redacted], in what can solely be described as an try to inject some type of spark in our listless Jays, ran onto the sphere “interrupting” the sport, giving jays fans a brief respite from their season long agony.

Our area-dashing friend additionally posted letters from his legal professional and from the Toronto prosecutor, the latter of which references Gandhi and Shakespeare and provides Joe a method out. Runner Joe (that is his Twitter identify) donated some money to Jays Care, a charitable arm of the workforce and that led to the fees getting dropped. In keeping with his Twitter feed, he is not even banned from the Rogers Centre anymore.
His web site looks like a mixture of a wedding homepage and Bart Simpson writing “I can’t run onto a baseball subject whereas a recreation is occurring” on the chalkboard 50 times. Runner Joe makes it clear folks should NOT observe his instance.
He ends the “story” section of his site with this:

At least all of this came to an informative — and quite hilarious — resolution. And severely people, do not run on the field, see how much work it requires afterward?
