That is the only good use I've ever seen for that stupid hill in centerfield at Minute Maid Park

I hope 100s of idiots try to do this and they end up taking that hill out.

someone better buy this dude a beer once he’s released.

That should win an ESPY.

Incredibly stupid—and awesome.

I heard the guy was caught.

The Astros should ask if he can play shortstop.

Most disappointing part of the story.

GM's are in charge of Managers, not the other way around.

What was?

That he was caught? Or that the Astros don’t have a new shortstop?

That he was caught.

Like waking up from a dream.

Even better!

Y’know, I’ve always been opposed to fans running on the field. But that is freakin’ hilarious.
