MafiaMan Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Scroll Down to HOT: North Dakota Tackler Also be sure to click on the link at SI next to the pic of K-Fed to view the video of the tackle. Nice work. The only tragedy is that the idiot fan wasn't wearing a Gopher hockey jersey! Quote
Siouxmama Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 That's awesome. Too bad we didnt see more of the video. Quote
Sioux-cia Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 I wish they had written UND Fighting Sioux rugger. A 25 yr old bat boy? Quote
A.B.T.G. Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Best tackle made in the Metrodump in years!!! Quote
MafiaMan Posted June 19, 2006 Author Posted June 19, 2006 Boom goes the dynamite! Cue the 92KQRS...I hear da footsteps of da batboy so I run! Quote
MafiaMan Posted June 19, 2006 Author Posted June 19, 2006 Best tackle made in the Metrodump in years!!! Chris Hovan to the video room...Chris Hovan to the video room. Quote
Siouxmama Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 WDAZ just had a clip of the tackle and it went a little more in depth about the kid. He said he was worried about getting fired for it, but instead the Twins manager (?) rewarded him with a new fishing pole. He is the bat boy for Boston. Quote
Superfan#99 Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 He is actually an employee of the Twins. Most MLB teams don't have traveling bat boys. Quote
Siouxmama Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 He is actually an employee of the Twins. Most MLB teams don't have traveling bat boys. Oh, I didn't know that, but it makes sense. I was wondering why the Twins gave him something for his...ummmm, heroics. Quote
Sioux-cia Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 He is actually an employee of the Twins. Most MLB teams don't have traveling bat boys. I want to be a bat girl!!!! (Just not for the Twins!) Quote
Siouxmama Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 I want to be a bat girl!!!! (Just not for the Twins!) Watch what you wish for. Batgirl is coming back, and she is gay. Oh wait, that might be Catwoman. Quote
Sioux-cia Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Watch what you wish for. Batgirl is coming back, and she is gay. Oh wait, that might be Catwoman. I thought Superman was gay? I can fake being gay in order to travel with a baseball team!! They might want to 'convert' me! Quote
Siouxmama Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 I thought Superman was gay? I can fake being gay in order to travel with a baseball team!! They might want to 'convert' me! Nope, not gay...that's just his tights! Quote
Sioux-cia Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Real men wear tights. Makes sense to me, in tights you can see if they're real men or not. Quote

MafiaMan Posted June 20, 2006 Author Posted June 20, 2006 Real men wear tights. Yea, just look at how cool Jason Williams, Jerry Stackhouse, Lebron James, and Dwayne Wade look with them on. Quote
southpaw Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 i was at that game and there was way more to it that they didn't show. i'm not encouraging people to jump onto the field, but when those two guys did, it was possibly the greatest thing i have ever seen. realize the context of the game before you guys blast me for saying fans on the field was good: eighth inning, nothing has happened for a good 3-4 innings and fans are getting restless. this was an excellent crowd picker-upper. the two guys jumped out there halfway up the wall along left field. they immediately split up, which was a good idea because the security guards were on them in a second. fortunately, the young guys were able to evade security long enough for the first one to get a high five from torii hunter (huge crowd pleaser) and then get shot down by luis castillo. the second one (the one who got tackled) just kinda ran around for a good couple minutes and it looked like he was going to go into the twins dugout or try and jump back into the stands. then he suddenly goes straight for 3rd base and the place errupted. other than morneau's grand slam earlier in the game, the dome was the loudest i had heard in a while. as soon as the guy dove at home plate, almost every fan was standing and cheering. and you know the rest from there.

Hey thanks for the 'rest of the story'. I've been to many a game that has been a snoozer, sounds like fun. Too bad the guys ended up in jail for the night. Quote
katohtr Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 I had heard that the one "idiot" that got tackled said that if the bat boy had hurt him, he would've sued...kinda funny that he would say something like that considering what he did was illegal and he HAD to expect that there would be some force involved when they finally did catch him. I'm guessing that he didn't figure the bat boy of all people would be the one to spear him!! Makes everything sweeter to learn that the BB was a UND alum!! Maybe we should send the footage of the tackle to the NDSU football team... Quote
