A fan took streaking to the next level on Wednesday night by using the Nationals tarp as a slip n slide during a rain delay.
Have you ever sat at a ballpark during a rain delay and thought ‘gee, that tarp looks like a giant slip n slide’?
Well, one fan in attendance at Nationals Park for Wednesday’s game between the Washington Nationals and St. Louis Cardinals figured he’d reminisce on childhood fun… while buck naked.
That’s one way to taste the rainbow.

Not only was the whole thing was caught on video, but Patrick Smith of Getty Images snapped some pretty memorable photos.
Unfortunately for the streaker, the Nationals’ security team did not want to join in the fun. They promptly escorted him off the field after pulling him out of the giant tarp roller tube he crawled into.
The man will almost certainly be fined for running onto the field and may also be charged with indecent exposure. It will be up to him to decide if the 30 seconds rush was worth it. Our guess is it won’t be after the adrenaline wears off and he’s sitting in jail.
