June 5, 201214 yr Mets fan banned from Citi Field for no-hitter stunt; was in jail during son's first birthday Staff reportSporting News Text sizeAAA Johan Santana's no-hitter is the last game Rafael Diaz will watch at Citi Field. Diaz told reporters that the New York Mets banned him from the stadium after he ran onto the field following the final out of Santana's gem Friday night. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8m0ETojcVg The Mets would not confirm Diaz’s ban. Diaz, who was wearing a Gary Carter replica jersey, blended into the pile of players before security pulled him away and wrestled him to the turf. The 32-year-old pilot from Long Island was arrested and charged with misdemeanor trespassing and entering the field of a New York sports event. He spent 38 hours in jail, the New York Post reported. — Santana's next start: Lefty will pitch Friday at Yankees Diaz said he was just caught up in the emotion of the first no-hitter in franchise history. “I couldn’t help myself,� Diaz told the Post. “I just wanted to be on the mound celebrating the no-hitter.� Diaz’s actions also exacted a toll on his family.

June 5, 201214 yr Author Tis not deserving of a topic. Our precious forum will not run out of space because I posted a story, and an interesting one at that. What the hell is wrong with you.
June 5, 201214 yr Yeah, it's not about space. It's about this not being newsworthy. The video is a good 'lol', but nobody gives a rats ass about New York Mets fan Joe Schmo getting banned from Citi Field. People get banned from venues all the time for doing stupid things. Also, stating that 'stupid Mets fans get what they deserve' is improper, unfair, lame, and quite juvenile. I'm sure their juvenile fans say the same thing about Marlins fans. What the hell is wrong with you '?'
