I have trouble getting out of bed unless there’s like a 90% chance that there’s big news coming around the corner involving foul balls. Keeps people on their toes. If it wasn’t for foul balls, people would just be sitting idly in the bleachers, getting fat and dipping their chili cheese dogs into their tankards of over-priced light beer. Like this dude was sitting front row at the Mets game yesterday.

This is why I’m beginning to think that soon we’ll see netting around the whole field. We can’t have fans getting their faces split open by foul balls every time they take their eyes off the field to take a Snapchat. I mean, yes, he’s lucky the beer was there to stop him from getting his ribcage rearranged. But also, the dude lost his beer. That’s like $11 the guy’s wearing. The argument can be made, though, that it’s a small price to pay to not get killed by a speeding baseball. Personally? Give me a baseball in the chest any day of the week over a wasted ballpark beer. I’m a blogger, not a money machine.
