Why does a baseball prankster HAVE to be caught? How hard do you try to catch him before it stops being worth it? It's not like he's a bank robber or mugger.

While that may be true, this kid gets away with it in front of a huge audience then it tells everyone else hey I can do it too. Given the circumstances they need to at least catch these people so it discourages others from doing it.

I am sure MLB and the teams dont want it happening either with the millions invested in their player the ydont want to risk injury esp given how fragile baseball players seem to be

No its not, because that could be potentially lethal.

And damn you for making me explain it to you.

Then he should run OFF OF THE FVCKING FIELD...but no...he chooses to keep running around the field and keep holding everything up and trying to be funny...well guess what(?) he succeeded because I think it's FUNNY that he got tased.

Well then you need to stop him at some point. Taser seems like a logical choice.

It would be funny had he just been tackled and drug off the field.

I guess he must be the fastest kid in the world huh?

that was my thing, it made me LOL when I read it then figured all the fallout will happen after that with lawsuits and all that sort of crap.

Now we hear the dads take on it. I like at the end of the Article how several players were hiding their faces laughing about it.

Well, as opposed to the action as I am, I do have to admit the picture is one of the funniest I've seen on the net in a while.
