The Astros super fan who ran on the field for a selfie with Jose Altuve during game two of the ALCS is facing criminal punishment and has been banned from all MLB stadiums indefinitely.
27-year-old Jose Alvarado appeared in court Friday morning, charged with misdemeanor criminal trespass.I was screaming his name so he was aware, he saw me coming. I was screaming pretty loud,” Alvarado told KPRC 2. “My outcome was to have a selfie with him, and I was like right there, I was so close, but it didn’t happen.”
“He was like, ‘Please, let me get a picture, please!’ Police had to come because he was so strong and we all had to tackle him,” security guard Diangelo Fields said.Alvarado ended up not getting the selfie as security quickly escorted him out. “It’s not worth it at the end, especially if you have kids. I have my kids and I can’t even take them to the stadium now to watch the games together and experience them as a family,” Alvarado said. “It’s not worth it at the end of the day. I wouldn’t recommend anybody doing it.”
“He’s a human being that got overzealous,” she said. “He understands fully why he was wrong. And he understands why he’s banned.”“Absolutely just stay in your seats and not do anything crazy. If you’re a fan, then just cheer, but don’t do anything crazy,” she said.
