A man running onto the field at Oriole Park near Camden Yards on Saturday got a rude awakening when a security guard tackled him and then body-slammed him to the ground.
The man – wearing nothing but briefs that said “Virginity Rocks” – decided to rush into the outfield during the eighth inning of the American League Division Series game between the Baltimore Orioles and Texas Rangers.
Videos taken by people in the stands showed the speedster being thrown to the ground within seconds of entering the field.
Somehow the man managed to fight his way up – but the security guard pulled off the most pro-wrestling move and body-slammed him back onto the grass.
Moments later, another guard came by and helped handcuff the speedster.

Baltimore police officers led away the man, who appeared to have a wound on his face.
That was about as much excitement as one could pump into the crowd, as the Orioles ended up losing both of their opening games.
The first game of the series took place on Saturday, which Baltimore lost 3-2.
The following night, a ninth-inning rally wasn’t enough to keep the Orioles in the series, as they fell in a slugfest, 11-8.
Baltimore must now win its next road game in Arlington to keep its playoff hopes alive.
