If there’s one story that never gets old, it’s the old “young person sneaks into sporting event” standby.

Introducing Butler University freshman Luke Zapolski, a broke-ass Cubs fan who followed the ancient dictum of subterfuge (and Major League Baseball, really), all the way into Wrigley Field:

Act Like You Belong.

Now That’s College has Zapolski’s highly entertaining story of how he weaseled his way into game five of the World Series.

“I was walking outside the stadium I went up to a gate and some guy asked me “Are you with Monterro security?”

I said yes and then he asked why I was dressed in a suit and I said that I was told business casual. He then asked me who my manager was and after I didn’t say anything he said “Is it Brandon?”. I said “that’s him” and he took me to Brandon who was some Jamaican dude who led me inside the stadium and when he asked why he’s never seen me I told him it was my first day. He then said I had to fill out some tax information so for about 30 mins I had to fill out some direct deposit and tax sheets. Then I was given a jacket and was given my post at the player’s entrance. I was being goofy the entire time and was making the players/media who came through laugh so they kept commenting on how I was doing such a great job.”

Our hero may have bamboozled Brandon, but his night at the old ballgame was short-lived. Mainly because of the Catch-22 that only the young and dumb have the stones to sneak into major sporting events, whereupon they act young and dumb. Zapolski spent too much time taking pictures of the hallowed grounds, and when the jig was up, he hid out in the crapper. For an hour.

Still, even without seeing a single pitch in Game Five and facing potential legal ramifications, it was totally worth it.

Even Luke’s grandparents (and we suspect Bob Newhart) agree.
