The fan in the white shirt amongst the sea of blue jerseys definitely sticks out, especially when you see the cop frantically trying to pry him off the pile. So who is this lucky fan who decided to get in on Arrieta's accomplishment? According to Twitter, that man is Dylan Cressy.

According to someone who knows him, this isn't new territory for Cressy. The person described him as "wild" and didn't seem too shocked he'd do something like this. It sure takes a certain type of wildness to decide, "Hey, I'm going to celebrate this no-hitter with the Cubs."

So let's hear it for Mr. Cressy  — the man who got to be a part of history.
