Fan Runs on Field at Busch Stadium, Somersaults into Home Plate

Cardinals fan got on the field at Busch Stadium and eluded security for a while before giving himself up with a somersault into home plate.

This brave/stupid soul got onto the field at Busch Stadium during Cubs-Cardinals and was able to elude most of the security guards as he ran from right field and through the infield before finally somersaulting into home plate. It did not work out so well for him after his little gymnastics routine, however, and he was quickly apprehended by the very men he so deftly avoided.

He was inspired by a first sprinter who made his way onto the field, but he was not as slippery as our hero/dummy above and was quickly apprehended.
