Guy runs on field during Mariners-Cardinals game, overruns fly ball image

I thought this guy was going to make a play on this fly ball. I really did.

But alas, the flag-wearing man who casually jogged from the outfield seats at Safeco Field during play of the Mariners-Cardinals game was either uninterested in fielding the ball or simply overran it. This is a rarity — anytime someone gets onto the field at a baseball game, it's between innings or pitches, so play is stopped. But the ball was in the air when he did, so players just fielded around him.
