Policeman perplexed after finding silver-haired Pirates fan in Giants dugout

Not only do the Pittsburgh Pirates have their hands full with the San Francisco Giants in the National League wild-card game, but apparently they're letting the U.S. Secret Service handle security at PNC Park. In the second inning Wednesday night, an older female fan wearing a Pirates jersey was standing inside of the Giants' dugout as outfielder Hunter Pence walked in following his first at-bat of the game. PNC is among the best ballparks in the majors, and some of the seats are really close to the action but ... not that close.

The silver-haired woman, obviously a fan of Bucs rookie Gregory Polanco because she wore No. 25, was trying to explain what wasn't obvious to one of Pittsburgh's finest: How the heck did she end up in the Giants' dugout during the game? She didn't appear to be a threat, she just seemed lost. The other amusing detail of the encounter: The cop's reaction to a colleague or supervisor, giving a "What's she doing here? I dunno!" in some kind of homemade sign language.

Barstool Sports put out a vine:

 

 

Was she looking for a postseason puppy? Trying to give a piece of her mind to manager Clint Hurdle for using Edinson Volquez as a starting pitcher? Maybe we'll find out later.

She might have meant to get lost on the other side of the field in the Pirates' dugout. Would Hurdle have sent her up to bat against Madison Bumgarner? She might have had a better chance than Actual Polanco, given how he's hit in the second half.

Presumably, security whisked her away, though the Giants probably would have loved her company. They would have needed to keep a lid on the salty dugout language, though.
