So tonight the Mets hosted the Braves, which meant I had to take one for the team and leave the game early (top 8th) so that the Boys and Orange and Blue could win (its all about superstition and for some reason I never get to see the METS beat the BRAVES. Lucky for me I didn't leave before getting to see the first NAKED yes you read that right NAKED STREAKER at Citi field. The Streaker was a phenonemon that i had first witness at Fenway Park and then again at Yankee Stadium last year, and now to my delight, the full glory of yet another crazed fan. This one baring the rally cry "Let's Go METS" in neat painted orange and blue, wear nothing but an orange cloth wrapped like a sumo diaper. The male which has been identified as Craig C, began his journey from just behind first base seats and slid into second. The then adjusted himself, and ran into center field where he fell and was finally pounced on by security. He was eventually dragged by security and taken out on the third-base side through the tunnel in section 125 (for those who know the inner workings of the stadium). According to police (No I am not stealing this off of some newspaper source, I spoke to them personally; my 2 yrs as a journalism major at work here...) the man was taken to jail where he will be booked and printed. After making bail or spending the night he will be served with a letter stating that he is not allowed on METS property. If he is ever seen at the stadium again he will then be subject to arrest for trespassing.
