We saw something like this happen earlier in the season with a young Royals fan in Kansas City.

Webb Simpson Wins U.S. Open, Has Trophy Ceremony Invaded By Squawking British Man
Webb Simpson seized his first major title on a U.S. Open Sunday rife with errors in play by all competitors.

Steve Urkel Threw Out The First Pitch In Washington, D.C. Yesterday

Croatia took a vital three points from Ireland over the weekend, sending fans into spasms of joy and occasional nudity.

For an instant, it looks like the Dodgers are going to execute a hit-and-run, and that they might even score on the play.

Polish Riot Police Vs. Croatian Hooligans—Who Ya Got?
We knew Polish police came prepared for Euro 2012, pants-pissing sound cannons and all. And we expected Eastern European fans to make trouble, because that's what they do.
