On Saturday a huge number of Canadians crossed over the border into the USA so that they could watch their Toronto Blue Jays take on the Seattle Mariners. Every year thousands of Canadians make the effort to attend so as to give their team the home field advantage.

One fan got a little too over excited and decided to go streaking. He ran out on the field before eventually being tackled by security staff. He was then cuffed, covered and led off by American police officers. The crowd absolutely loved him and he received huge cheers as he was being led away.

It turns out that the man is from Ireland and he may face a number of charges related to the incident, the most severe of which being deportation.

Journalist Hazel Mae posted a tweet explaining what may happen to the man: "Update: according to my source with the King County Sheriff’s office, last night’s streaker is still incarcerated. Since he is an Irish national, he could now be deported. Charges are very serious. All this because I’m told his buddies bet him $80.."

According to Mae, the man did this for an $80 bet... This is a costly way to win a bet! In some cases, streakers can even be put on the sex offenders list so nowadays it is quite a risky thing to do.

Another individual ran into the friends of the streaker who said that they intend to set up a GoFundMe to pay for the man's legal costs. As of writing the streaker is still in police custody and no GoFundMe has been set up.

Ran into friends of the streaker outside of Safeco. They showed us his clothes. He decided to streak on the spot. He and friends visiting from Ireland - and friends said they are starting #GoFundMe page to help bail him out! #Mariners #Streaker #BlueJays pic.twitter.com/Vf8bSR6NYm — Shanel Pratap (@shanelpratap) August 5, 2018
