Fans of the Chicago Cubs love Kris Bryant. It's not hard to figure out why that's the case. Combine his excellent production and prodigious power with those dreamy eyes, and you'll instantly fall in love with Bryant too.

With that said, some fans may have taken their love of Bryant a little too far during Friday's game. After Bryant hit a mammoth home run out of the stadium and onto Waveland Ave., two fans got into a bit of a scuffle trying to get a piece of Kris Bryant memorabilia.

Based on the video, it's tough to tell whether the collision was intentional or an accident. It's certainly possible the fans involved never meant to actually tackle a guy. It's also possible that fandom makes people do crazy things ... like resort to physical violence in order to grab a home run ball.

Look, we here at The Stew can understand how the excitement of catching a home run can cause a person to momentarily act like a maniac, we're just asking that you don't injure those around you. As Cubs play-by-play man Len Kasper says in the video, "be nice, everybody." That's a good mantra to have in all situations.

Football doesn't begin for a couple months, so there's no need for baseball fans to start working on their tackling skills now. That's especially true in Chicago. With two first place teams in the city, how can any baseball fan be looking forward to football right now?
