A man jumped onto the field during a White Sox-Royals game and tried to tackle the first base umpire. Here's the good news: He wasn't shirtless.
And you know what's really sad? This whole thing could have been easily avoided if Geraldo hadn't given away the umpire's exact location.

In response to the incident, the White Sox have upgraded security. From now on, fans have to run through a metal detector before going onto the field.
In other baseball news, the Angels may be sold to Mexican-American multimillionaire Arturo Moreno. The deal needs to be approved by 23 owners and the Rally Monkey's accountant.
According to Forbes the Yankees are worth $849 million. And that figure jumps to more than $850 million once David Wells returns his empties.
Curt Schilling had an appendectomy. He's expected to miss one start, and after that he'll be on a strict stitch count.
Dusty Baker seems very comfortable in his new job as the Cubs' manager. Meanwhile Dusty's four-year-old son, Darren, no longer allowed to be a batboy, is still getting adjusted to his new job in a Nike shoe factory.
