Cubs vs. D-backs Game 1, 9th inning, what was the red light?

During NLDS Game 1, 9th inning, Cubs vs. D-Backs, the umpires pointed to a guy behind home plate holding a funny flashing red bullseye like light. It seemed like the guy was a member of the production crew or something.

What was that and what happened to it?

    These are premium fan seats, and he was clearly a Cubs Fan. He was flashing hand written signs throughout the game. I was at the game and he should have been escorted out, but Arizona is fan friendly.

    He was trying to unravel the pitcher and effect the game, which is not cool. Security spoke to him and asked him to knock it off.

    It was a round Cubs logo clock with a ring of lights around the frame.

    I watched him throughout the game because he was distracting me. He spent half the time on a cell phone and showed marginal interest in the actual game.

    His "look" bothered me more then anything. His shirt was far too tight, gold chain, almost a dated 70s disco look and clearly into himself. Someone that thinks he looks cool but gets a laugh for bad taste.

    It was a neon cubs sign which I noticed but didn't really think about it. The commentators mentioned that he looked like a worker. I saw him taking pics like maybe he was a newspaper reporter or photographer. I don't think he was a regular fan, although he acted like it through out the game, because he kept getting my attention when he'd hold up hand written signs saying something about the cubs and stuff. Basically distracting the players.

    Not to mention, the umps got after him because that sign could easily distract the pitcher (which I think he was trying to do, and if he was a worker, he should know better and should be fired for that).

    It looked like a hollowed-out neon clock with a Cubs logo in the middle. I said to my buddy... "you see that guy with that light? He won't be doing that for long...".

    Then, after the next pitch, the umps conferred and were pointing at him, and on TV, you could see someone REALLY getting in this idiot's face. It was either a Chase Park employee/security guy, or perhaps just a D-Backs fan speaking on behalf of the whole VIP section that his actions were deplorable and he needed to go back to "Idiocracy" in the year 2505 in his Time Masheen.

    It was just another quirky, strange, curse-starting October episode by another moronic Northsider. A shame that so few end up being the poster-morons for so many...

    straightforward for me, Yankees Vs Cubs. Cubs are in the Brewers branch and that i prefer to work out how the Yankees are going to play with their new team at their new stadium! it relatively is going to be a stable recreation. Have an astonishing time, yet of direction you will!

    I was wondering the same thing. Those don't look like fan seats to me.

    Pretty strange behavior by a production person.
