Fan runs onto Oracle Park field during Giants game, evades security, throws fake pitch on mound

The tail end of the San Francisco Giants' game against the New York Mets was interrupted when a fan in a Padres jersey made his way onto the field and was able to take quite a journey before security got to him.

The incident happened in the top of the ninth as the Giants were trying to close out an eventual win against the Mets. Right before the inning started, the fan got onto the field, causing play to stop. Very quickly it became clear that the authorities were not exactly rushing to get after the man in the Padres jersey, so he was able to run past the infield, the Mets dugout, the batter's box and eventually the pitcher's mound.
