Orioles' Jones on field intruders: 'I wish the cops tase the living s--- out of them'

For Baltimore Orioles center fielder Adam Jones, the outfield is his sacred workplace, and he doesn't appreciate intruders during office hours. 

Jones spoke very openly following Tuesday's game in the Bronx, in which a pair of fans ran onto the field before being tackled by security. 

“I let them know how I felt, obviously a lot of choice words because I think it’s idiotic for people to run on the field and I think the punishment needs to be a lot harsher,” Jones told Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com. “And they should let us have a shot to kick them with our metal spikes on because it’s stupid.

"You look like a [idiot] when you run on the field. We don’t go to any other events. We don’t go to other sporting events and do that to their jobs, but they come to ours and do that. I get it, you’re drunk and you want to be on SportsCenter. Your [butt] is going to jail with a fine, and you might not be allowed to come back to the ballpark.”

Tuesday's incident wasn't the first time that an on-field intruder has enraged Jones. 

“I remember a couple of years ago, one dude broke his ankle in Baltimore. I was laughing at him. I wish he shattered his femur because it’s stupid. It’s just plain old stupid. Anybody who does it, I wish the cops tase the living shit out of them. I wish that.”
