Welcome to the dumb fan hall of fame, Frank Martinez! Martinez was arrested on Friday after he shined a high-powered flashlight onto Shea Stadium's field during the Mets-Braves game.

Law Gets Between Calvin and the Athletes
Two weeks after the city council passed a bill providing harsher penalties for fans that enter a field of play and try to harm athletes, Mayor Bloomberg signed the bill into law. The law calls for up to a year in jail and up to $25,000 worth in fines. The Post graciously points out that the old law in place, aka the "Calvin Klein Law", only called for fines for those that stepped onto the field of play. For those with short memories, Klein attempted to talk to Latrell Sprewell in 2003 at a Knicks game as Sprewell was trying to inbound the ball (Klein was physically restrained and checked into Hazelden shortly after).
