Viral Video: Philadelphia Phillies Fan Gets Tasered

After a 17-year-old wandered onto the field during the Phillies-Cardinals game, he was tasered by the security staff at Citizens Bank Park. The act itself made for immediate Internet fodder ; however, the respective Philadelphia and St. Louis broadcasts failed to display the malfeasance—which we’ll never understand.

We understand the desire not to promote such activity, but doesn’t witnessing a dude getting zapped by a taser counteract such wrongdoing?

Regardless, with no “official” video the Internet kingdom was put to the test.  Were there fans at Citizens Bank Park that had the creative insight to whip out their trusty camera phones and snap some footage?

Of course there were.

No doubt about it, the best thing about the video above is the 85-year-old woman “protecting” Phillies shortstop Juan Castro.

Classic.

UPDATE : After some waffling last night and this morning, “Phillies fan tasered” has reached the pinnacle of Internet relevancy: No. 1 on Google Trends.
