Why does a baseball prankster HAVE to be caught? How hard do you try to catch him before it stops being worth it? It's not like he's a bank robber or mugger.

While that may be true, this kid gets away with it in front of a huge audience then it tells everyone else hey I can do it too. Given the circumstances they need to at least catch these people so it discourages others from doing it.

I am sure MLB and the teams dont want it happening either with the millions invested in their player the ydont want to risk injury esp given how fragile baseball players seem to be
