The recent tazing of a Phillies fan as he ran onto the field got me thinking. What would happen if tasers were around in the 80s, during the "Morganna - The Kissing Bandit" era?
For those of you younger than 30 - Morganna made her claim-to-fame by running onto the fields of various sporting events mid-game. It was widely accepted as good, clean fun. She got so well known that some athletes would welcome her mid-jog. (Although I'm guessing she was pretty easy to recognize.)
That's Nolan Ryan on the pitchers mound, bracing for bandit-besos. Note the security guard in the dugout. Not only is he not-tasing MKB, he's flat-out applauding. Were the 80s goofy or what?
Fast forward to 2010 - where the only ones getting to first base are the ballplayers.
