Philadelphia police are investigating the Tasering of a 17-year-old Phillies fan who stormed the field Monday night.
Police are reviewing the case to see if it was an appropriate use of force.
The incident occurred at the start of the eighth inning at Citizens Bank Park as the Phillies were in the field and the St. Louis Cardinals were preparing to bat.
The teen, wearing a red Phillies National League Champions T-shirt and khaki shorts, was running around the outfield waving a white towel and eluding security. A uniformed bicycle patrol officer pointed the Taser at him, fired and didn't miss, taking the boy down face-first, like the way Pete Rose used to slide, Fox 29's Steve Keeley reported.
