HOUSTON – Most of us watching the World Series saw the fan in American flag shorts run on the field at Minute Maid Park during Game 5. Now, get to know more about the guy behind the flag flair.
Right after Carlos Correa hit a homer for the history books Sunday, that gave the Astros a 11-8 lead over the Dodgers, fans cheered, the dugout was in a roar and a less than half-dressed man raced across the field.
Meet Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, YouTube prankster and the man with a "Villain" baseball cap and "Villains Never Die" written across his chest, who took to the field to make history in a another way. It wasn't long before he was tackled near second base and taken into custody.
