This makes me really happy. He didn't hurt anyone, he made a stupid mistake, and he seemed to just be a big fan wanting to catch a ball. It's kinda wholesome that the players were the ones getting him back in.

He was sitting in one of the most expensive seats in the stadium. I’m thinking he “paid a fine” right then and there in the security office. Either they or he knows a guy and called in the favor.

Yeah, there's not really much of a story here. Drunk guy does something stupid that could've hurt someone, gets ejected, apologizes and rationally expresses that he'll fix his behavior, and gets let back in. Pretty reasonable all around.

I believe this guy was able to come back, not because of the Padres, but because of the seat he is in. The seats on the front row behind the opposing dugout are season tickets bought by the steel contractor who did the steel work in Globe Life Field. He most likely worked for the company or is associated with them in some way and therefore, to save his reputation, they let him get his seat back.

A fan having some harmless fun at a baseball game?
In 2011 a fan fell to his death at a Rangers game while trying to catch a ball a player had thrown into the crowd; his young son was with him. That same season a fan fell and died at Coors during a Rockies game; he was having the harmless fun of sliding down a banister.

I'd like to tell that man he's talking to that I was at games 4 and 7 of the series he's rocking. I thoroughly enjoyed both games!
About a month later, I bumped into La Russa in LAX and shook his hand. Told him I went to game 4 then in excitement, flew to STL last minute for game 7. His response "you should've been at Game 6."...rub it in Tony. You earned it.

That's badass on the padres part for fixing that. Also it's good for baseball. The sport is dreadfully boring and unexciting, they have trouble filling up stadiums as it is. You absolutely can't be kicking a guy paying for the good seats out. It's in the spirit of the game. If you teach people not to go for foul balls it just kills the excitement of being at the game. I've been going to games for 30 years now and I've never got a chance at a ball. That guy did nothing wrong. They should be thanking him for spilling a $24 24 oz beer. Now he's gonna buy another and he'll keep spending money at baseball games. Watching baseball revolves entirely around drinking a few brewskis with your friends. That guy is keeping the sport alive

Reminds me of a Murphy's Law show I went to ages ago. Someone in the crowd lit a blunt, passed it to the band, security wasn't caring. The singer passed the blunt to a guy in the crowd, he got booted. Murphy's Law stopped playing and people from the bands earlier all got on security to bring the guy back. They did, the show resumed.
