MLB fans mock pitch invader's vain effort to evade security by scaling a wall during WS Game 5 

On Thursday night, a Phillies fan made his way onto the field during Game 5 of the 2022 MLB World Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Houston Astros at Citizens Bank Park.

He didn't have an escape strategy, so he tried to scale a wall and failed miserably.

The next moment, the security personnel were able to catch him and escort him out of the field.

However, once the fellow's video went viral on Twitter, MLB fans were left in stitches. The Game 5 intruder was hoping to grab somebody's hand to execute his exit plan but instead received a beer can on the head. Plus, spectators mocked the man with an "a*****e" chant.

Here are some of the hilarious responses:

Another Twitterati pointed out how the invader is not an "American Ninja Warrior," referring to the sports entertainment reality show where numerous competitors attempt to complete a series of obstacle courses of increasing difficulty.

One MLB fan even said that security should have shot the man.

A Twitter user named Colin was concerned about the steep prices of the tickets and how the foolish pitch invader burnt it all with his publicity stunt.

Another fan pointed out how security personnel did a better job at tackling than the Philadelphia Eagles' performance in a Thursday Night Football matchup against the Houston Texans.

Baseball enthusiasts, including MLB insider Jeff Passan, thought the man was simply an idiot to pull off such a whimsical act.

The Astros-Phillies game, which had been paused due to the invader, resumed when he was expelled from the field.
