Take me out of the ballgame! Two fans are arrested for breaking into the Cleveland Indians' stadium during their playoff game with the Yankees and yelling at players from the empty bleachers

Two men were arrested at Progressive Field for sneaking into a playoff game between the Cleveland Indians and New York Yankees that was closed to fans because of COVID.

Officials have barred fans from the stadium due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but that didn't deter two baseball lovers from creeping into the stands on Wednesday night during the American League Wild Card Series showdown.

Two unidentified men, both aged 36, broke into Progressive Field around 11.40pm as the two teams battled it out, Cleveland.com reports.

The men scaled a fence behind the left field bleachers, which is where stadium security officers spotted them on surveillance cameras, the publication reported.

One man reportedly watched the game from the third row, while the other walked near the stand's edge and yelled at Yankee's players.

Cleveland.com reports that authorities soon confronted the men, who confessed to scaling the fence and admitted that they should not have.
