The Phillies were playing a day game in Pittsburgh on Sunday when a fan went out of his way to shake Brad Miller's hand.
Like, really out of his way.

During the sixth inning, a man wearing a Hawaiian shirt, jeans and sunglasses, recording on his cellphone, casually walked onto the field at PNC Park, went over to Miller standing in the batter's box and tried to shake his hand.

The Phillies utility player is seen backing up, avoiding the man until he's caught by police. He was eventually handcuffed near the first base dugout and escorted off the field.
Many on-field intruders run around until they are painfully tackled by security and arrested — not this guy. Maybe there's some truth behind the saying, "act like you belong there, even if you don't." He made it all the way to home plate without causing a scene.
When play resumed, Miller grounded into a double play, ending the inning.
The Phillies beat the Pirates, 2-1, in 11 innings.
