Mets fan who crashed Johan Santana’s no-hitter jailed for two nights, misses son’s first birthday party

Quote
[snip]

The New York Post describes him as a "Mets nut" who says he "couldn't help" running on the field to celebrate with players after Johan Santana finished the first no-hitter in franchise history on Friday night.

But the Gary Carter-jersey, jorts-wearing man from Long Island named Rafael Diaz paid a big price for trespassing at Citi Field. After Diaz spent two nights in a Queens jail, a judge ordered him released Sunday — a day too late for him to attend his son's first birthday party.

The Mets also have banned him — for life — from Citi Field. Diaz also could face a year in jail and a $25,000 fine related to the city's unruly fan law. Harsh, but that's the going rate for offenses that include "entering the field of a New York sporting event." Of course, Diaz's actions were stupid, selfish and a little bit dangerous.

I think the punishment was a little harsh, don't you? It isn't like the guy was hurting anyone.

Maybe the two nights in jail was a little harsh.  But I really have little sympathy for morons who run onto the field.

Not harsh at all. Actions have consequences and they should put his poster up at all sporting events to let fans know not to be ****ing stupid. That shit leads to stampedes, fights, and people getting hurt.

Exactly.  Though, the lifetime ban is a bit harsh.  A year or two, maybe.
