The Chicago Cubs lost 7-1 to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday and it was pretty much a snooze fest for Cubs fans in attendance, but they did get to see an idiot run around Wrigley Field.
The guy who ran onto the field is a New York Yankees fan and as a reminder you get charged with a felony when you do this dumbass thing.
Joseph W. Confer, 24, of the 1600 block of Hosmer Lane, is charged with one felony count of criminal trespass to a place of public amusement, police said.
Confer ran onto the field around 4:20 p.m. while the game was in progress, according to police. He was detained by security and later taken into custody, police said. Criminal trespass carries a fine of at least $1,000, as well as a minimum of 30 hours of community service.
He wasn’t shown on TV, as MLB doesn’t want to give these people any attention and I wish they did show the part where fans get lit up. Unfortunately the hit on this Yankees fan wasn’t that great.

You already don’t like this guy for running onto the field wearing a Yankees jersey to a Cubs-Pirates game, but this detail puts it over the top.
Despite the fact that the Cubs were playing the Pirates, Confer was reportedly wearing a Yankees jersey with his own last name on the back.
Gross.
Also, this.
Confer has a record in Will County, including a 2012 burglary arrest. Court records indicate he pleaded guilty to theft and was sentenced to 24 months of conditional discharge and 100 hours of community service.
Confirmed bad guy.
You can never trust a guy who wears a jersey of a team that isn’t playing and more so when he puts his own last name on it, as if he plays for the Yankees.
BAN THIS MAN!
