Giving Beckham The Shirt Off Your Back (And Almost The Pants Too!)

Over the weekend, MJD told you about the fan who was arrested for shining a laser pointer into the eyes of Braves players. We didn't know that was a crime, though it's easy to understand why it would be: Edgar Renteria has enough trouble hitting the breaking ball without having to worry that a sniper's going to take him out.

Well, the soccer world gave us some more traditional fan malfeasance this weekend: Some guy ran on the pitch and tried to hand David Beckham his shirt. If security hadn't have stopped him, he'd have handed over his pants too, which is a difficult, admirable maneuver: Not only does it take more time, but it complicates the fundamental issue of being able to run away.

Our guy didn't make it: The constables took him away, and Beckham just looked amused.
