During the fifth inning of Game 3 on Monday night at Yankee Stadium, A-Rod was almost attacked by a crazed fan, who had an interesting photo in his pocket regarding the slugger, according to the New York Daily News.
Thirty-three-year-old Grim LeRogue, who apparently has quite the crush on actress Cameron Diaz, was tackled just a few steps after hopping onto the field.
Once detained, security found a photo of A-Rod with a gun pointed to his head and the message, “You gotta go, buddy” scribbled underneath.
“He was absolutely out of his [expletive] mind,” the source told the Daily News, also adding that LeRogue wouldn’t stop rambling once in custody. “He gave a rambling interview that he had an infatuation with Cameron Diaz. He thought by going out and choking A-Rod he’d be a hero to her.”
But here’s where it gets interesting. The report also indicates that the Bronx man told police that he wanted to kill Bobby Brown, because Osama Bin Laden has a crush on Brown’s wife, Whitney Houston.
Below is a video, which captures the aftermath.
