The 18-year-old posted a tweet before the All-Star game started saying he would run on the field if he could get 1,000 retweets. He wound up with over 3,000.
His following Tweets were "this is gonna be terrible," "i hate all of you" and "should i really do this?"
The fan then became concerned with what his mother would think and started posted exchanges he had with her as she caught wind of what he was planning to do.
He told his mom he received the 1,000 retweets he needed to which she replied, "Idc, you better not. I'm not kidding I don't want u getting hurt."
"ma stop yelling at me," he posted. "Dylan it's not funny that a serious thing and u could get arrested if not worse please don't b ridiculous," she said to him.
"if i actually get on the field pray for me cause my moms gonna kill me," he tweeted.
The Twitter user snuck down to field level and decided he was going to run to second base in the fifth inning.
He got out onto the field and then was promptly tackled by a security guard and carried off the field.
