Field Leveled

- — Zach Braziller

There were more fan shenanigan­s in The Bronx on Tuesday, but at least this time nobody threw a ball at an opposing outfielder.

During the top of the sixth inning of their 6-4 win over Phillies, a fan in a Yankees hat and T-shirt raced onto the field to the delight of the crowd before being slammed down by a security guard and escorted off.

It was the latest incident at Yankee Stadium. On Saturday night, a fan threw a ball that hit Red Sox left fielder Alex Verdugo in the back. That fan has since been banned from all MLB stadiums for life.

That same night, Catherine Varitek, the wife of former Red Sox catcher and current assistant coach Jason Varitek, said a Yankees fan spat on her 9-year-daughter as they walked to their car outside the Stadium.
