The Stupidest Catch

Rumor has it that the new Yankee Stadium will have suction tubes that will suck errant fans into the bowels of the stadium, like when Luke fell off the catwalk in Empire Strikes Back. Nets are so low-tech. Joseph Carullo, 54, was reaching for a foul ball on Tuesday night during the seventh inning of the Yankees-Orioles game, when he "apparently lost his balance" and fell into the netting below his box seat. Authorities called the fall an accident, and there was no arrest (after a lengthy investigation, I'll bet). You expect this kind of thing at Wrigley, but not here.
