CHICAGO -- From villain to superhero.

A fan was removed by security before returning to cheers Thursday after he climbed Wrigley Field's protective netting near first base to retrieve a bat that slipped through Sal Frelick's grasp and became lodged there.

The Milwaukee Brewers outfielder's bat got stuck about 10 feet up after a swinging strike in the top of the sixth.
