OK, ok, it still is the thinking man's game, what with Tony La Russa constantly batting the pitcher eighth. But it seems to me that after last Thursday, when a fan tragically died falling over the rail while leaning to catch a ball tossed at him, people would take greater care, you know, when leaning over rails to catch balls.
I guess I was wrong.
From last night's home run derby:
I get being all excited to catch a ball from the home run derby, but come on. Please be dumber. What's especially notable is that this guy and his friends had already caught two home run balls.
Here's a different angle:
I'm kind of sad that they were able to successfully catch this guy, because I think the gene pool would have appreciated his exit. Unfortunately, then there would be a lawsuit, and that would also anger me. How is it that in America, if you kill yourself through your own stupidity, your family can still profit off of it?
