Fan plunges; Baseball Collector sick, twisted
In case there was any doubt about whether or not I’m sick and twisted, now there’s proof.
Last night, a fan plunged from the upper deck at Yankee Stadium–no, I didn’t shove him–and landed on the protective netting behind home plate, leaving a butt-sized hole as he nearly crashed all the way through. Then he sat there for a minute or two, dazed, with his head in his hands.
My first thought?
See if you can guess:
a) “Oh my gawd that’s horrible!!!”
b) “I hope he’s okay.”
c) “Cool! Foul balls can drop through! I hope the Yankees don’t fix the net right away.”
d) “Was he shoved?”
e) “Is it Brian Cashman, and did George Steinbrenner shove him?”
f) none of the above
You may recall that I skipped this game because I knew it would be insanely crowded. For the record, the attendance was 53,946. Today’s day game, which I also skipped, had another sellout crowd of 54,635. It might be a while before I see another game in the Bronx. Thankfully, it’s only 120 hours ’til I’ll be seeing one in Cincinnati.

hmmm this is a tough question zack… I saw this on SportsCenter last night and my first reaction was “wow, how’d he fall off?” so I bet your first was D… but then you thought of C right after that haha
i think that he was shoved as a joke by a friend to make the media headlines, like those morrons who attacked umpire laz diaz in kansas city.
but my guess would be E, and let me tell you, i would really love to see that
I’m ashamed to admit it, but the answer is C. I mean, yes, I was wondering how the heII someone falls from the upper deck (it turns out that the guy jumped just to see if the net would support his weight), but the hole in the netting was what caught my attention…and held it.
I have problems.
(e) reveals you to be an astute observer of the stuff beneath the hype. And a satirist to boot. To assimilate the facts of the leap plus the Boss’s penchant for making “his” people walk the plank if his totally self-centered dreams are not realized is first class brain work. And inflicts pain where it belongs.
Cmon guys, why in the world would you say anything but C?
Baseballs first, people second.
it would have been cool if it were brian cashman being shoved by stienbrenner, but i agree that baseballs are the main factor into this
