Why Kelly Marcucci's Yankee Stadium Protest Is Sparking Debate
The Palestinian flag-waving loon who ran onto the field at Yankee Stadium during the 9/11 25th Anniversary game has been identified and charged.
Kelly Marcucci, of Long Island, is facing misdemeanor charges for interference with a professional sporting event and trespassing, according to the NYPD.
Marcucci, 38, has no known prior arrests.
The demonstrator charged the field in the seventh inning of the Yankees-Mets Subway Series game in the Bronx on Friday — quickly getting tackled in centerfield by the NYPD, video showed.
Fans immediately broke out into chants of “USA!” when the man was brought down onto the grass.
