An 18 year-old Long Island boy snuck into the Mets and Padres' clubhouses on August 10th, using a fake NBC ID and a fake press pass. When he asked his hero Mike Piazza to pose for a picture with him a security guard threw him out of the clubhouse.
Then Mets security and the police got involved and when the kid, Ryan Leli, came back on Friday for the Rockies game, the police were waiting for him.
Leli was charged with criminal possession of a forged instrument, falsifying business records, larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, criminal impersonation and criminal trespass and apparently impersonating a journalist, which I had no idea was illegal. I'd better stop.
Leli faces up to seven years in prison if he's convicted.
