Poll question: How should "pitch invaders" be dealt with?

I just watch the passive response of the Baltimore PD with their field intruder. This is one end of the scale of how to respond. Of course, there are other ways of dealing with this. What do you think is the best way to deal with these situation?

1. maybe not tasering, but no one should be able to get near a player or coach

the kid in Baltimore got dangerously close to WAY too many Baltimore players. If he had a knife, there could have been catastrophic results. I don't think you need to taser the runner the moment he enters the field, but if the person starts running around the players, don't dare just stand there and let him/her. I guess the Baltimore PD forgot about that incident in Chicago, I think it was, where that father and son attacked the first base coach.

3. How about better deterrence?

Is it an automatic misdemeanor/trespass charge in all ballparks? I think it is in some.

I advocate no jail time but a hefty fine. And a lot of PR to discourage idiots from trying.

6. I was thinking of including that one.

But Ray puts a much better beating on the fan in his clip.
