Robert Sabo/New York Daily NewsA Twitter dare turned into a body slam for one fan on All-Star night at Citi Field.
Twitter user @MasoneDylan, later identified as Dylan McCue-Masone of Shirley, New York (Long Island), age 18, was live tweeting at the All-Star Game Tuesday night, then put it out there if he got 1,000 retweets, he would run on the field during the game.
"1000 RTs and ill run across the field.. #ASG #CitiField" read the original tweet at 7:44 p.m.
Over 1,800 retweets later, the kid decided to go for it. He was taken down near second base with a textbook tackle by a Citi Field security guard. He was charged with interfering with a professional sporting event.
Photogrophers at the game captured the moment, which was not shown on the FOX broadcast.
Earlier in the night, McCue-Masone was making fun of Tom Seaver on Twitter, posting "TOM SEAVER THROWS LIKE MY LIL SISTER".
His Twitter account reads like a play-by-play of his attempt - and immediate regret.
At 9:07 he tweeted "lmao this is gonna be terrible" then "i hate all of you" followed by a tweet saying "WHO SNITCHED?!" with a screenshot of a text from his mother begging him not to run on the field. Updates like "next inning" and "im going for 2nd" followed.
His final tweet of the night came at 9:36 p.m. it was a picture of the fence along the left field stands. It simply said "AHHH".
