"\"Twitter made me do it!\"  \nThat's a fame-seeking fan's excuse after rushing the field during the middle of Tuesday night's MLB All-Star Game.  \nOur antagonistic proganonist's tale begins with this Tuesday afternoon tweet:\n\n1000 RT's and ill run across the field.. #ASG #CitiField\n\u2014 dyl (@MasoneDylan) July 16, 2013\n\nSure enough, as you'll notice, the post racked up well over the required 1,000 retweets, and young @MasoneDylan stayed true to his word. He live-tweeted his approach to the field and even shared screenshots of a text-message exchange with his horrified mother before doing the deed. \nMore on that in just a bit \u2014 but first, here's a bit of Instagram video of Dylan's fifth-inning stunt, and a security guard's rather epic takedown right next to second base. See how that guard gets low, wraps up the legs and drives with his hips? \n\nNow that we've seen that, here's the ramp-up narrative Dylan provided via his Twitter feed before running onto the field. First he reiterated that he is, in fact, a man of his word:\n\nif i get 1000 RTs id really do it\n\u2014 dyl (@MasoneDylan) July 16, 2013\n\nBut he probably wasn't expecting to actually get so many retweets:\n\n@TravisQuattrini i hope i dont get to 1k lmao\n\u2014 dyl (@MasoneDylan) July 17, 2013\n\n\ni have 24% i need to see it before my phone dies\n\u2014 dyl (@MasoneDylan) July 17, 2013\n\nThen, uh-oh ...\n\nHoly shit lmao\n\u2014 dyl (@MasoneDylan) July 17, 2013\n\n\nlmao this is gonna be terrible\n\u2014 dyl (@MasoneDylan) July 17, 2013\n\n\ni hate all of you\n\u2014 dyl (@MasoneDylan) July 17, 2013\n\nBut someone tipped off Mom, who was none too pleased:\n\nWHO SNITCHED?! pic.twitter.com/6Rqw9YxCQa\n\u2014 dyl (@MasoneDylan) July 17, 2013\n\nNonetheless ... \n\nalright.. i guess have no choice.. gonna try to get out by left field\n\u2014 dyl (@MasoneDylan) July 17, 2013\n\n\nblame it on social media, love you all\n\u2014 dyl (@MasoneDylan) July 17, 2013\n\nAnother stellar exchange with Mom: \n\nma stop yelling at me... pic.twitter.com/a2ly1HFxs7\n\u2014 dyl (@MasoneDylan) July 17, 2013\n\nThe moment of truth approaches ...\n\nnext inning\n\u2014 dyl (@MasoneDylan) July 17, 2013\n\n\nim going for 2nd\n\u2014 dyl (@MasoneDylan) July 17, 2013\n\n\nAHHH pic.twitter.com/qPEHfPYQ2I\n\u2014 dyl (@MasoneDylan) July 17, 2013\n\nAnd this, ladies and gents, is sports in 2013.\nWhat do you think: Hilarious Twitter stunt or jerk move?
