Higgins allegedly identified himself as a Dodgers player, but the guard recognized him from an earlier incident and called police.[continued]
Posing as Dodgers on field refers to a situation where an individual pretends to be a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team while on the field during a game.
People may pose as Dodgers players for a variety of reasons, such as to gain attention or fame, to try and play in a professional game, or to simply cause disruption or chaos.
While it does happen, it is not a common occurrence for people to pose as professional athletes. Most professional sports teams have strict security measures in place to prevent this type of behavior.
It is not necessarily illegal to pose as a professional athlete, but it can be considered fraud or impersonation if the individual is attempting to gain something of value or deceive others. Depending on the circumstances, it may also violate stadium or team policies.
Professional sports teams have various security measures in place, such as ID checks, strict credential requirements, and increased security at games, to prevent individuals from posing as players. In addition, players often have distinctive uniforms and numbers that make it easier to identify imposters.
