Dylan McCue-Masone -- identified on Twitter as ?@MasoneDylan? -- runs on the field after a Twitter dare and is taken down hard by Citi Field security.
A Twitter dare turned into a body slam for one fan at the All-Star Game at Citi Field Tuesday night.
Twitter user @MasoneDylan, later identified as Dylan McCue-Masone of Shirley, L.I., 18, was live tweeting at the All-Star Game, then put it out there if he got 1,000 retweets, he would run on the field during the game.
?1000 RTs and ill run across the field.. #ASG #CitiField? read the original tweet at 7:44 p.m.

Over 1,000 retweets later, the kid decided to go for it. He was taken down near second base with a textbook tackle by a Citi Field security guard. He was charged with interfering with a professional sporting event.
Photographers at the game captured the moment, which was not shown on the Fox broadcast.
At the game, Mets fan Brendan Lane witnessed the whole thing.

?No one, including the security guards, seemed to notice him until he reached the left fielder,? said Lane, who lives in Queens. ?They used to not put guys on TV, but I guess now you can bypass that with Twitter and all of that. Interestingly, they put a security guard there in the aisle now, like this area is now prone to people running on the field.
?People were laughing (when he was on the field) and the climax was when the guy tackles him, aggressively. He tackled him like he had been waiting a long time to tackle someone,? Lane said.
Earlier in the night, McCue-Masone was making fun of Tom Seaver on Twitter, posting ?TOM SEAVER THROWS LIKE MY LIL SISTER?.

His Twitter account reads like a play-by-play of his attempt ? and immediate regret.
At 9:07 he tweeted ?lmao this is gonna be terrible? then ?i hate all of you? followed by a tweet saying ?WHO SNITCHED?!? with a screenshot of a text from his mother begging him not to run on the field. Updates like ?next inning? and ?im going for 2nd? followed.
His final tweet of the night came at 9:36 p.m. It was a picture of the fence along the left field stands. It simply said ?AHHH?.
