Yeah, that one is all over the place with tons of people stealing credit for it or thinking it's real.

A man from Wheaton, Ill., died on Wednesday, the day after he fell over a railing onto his head at the Chicago Cubs’ iconic ballpark Wrigley Field, according to the Cook County (Ill.) medical examiner’s office.

 

Richard E. Garrity, 42, was on his way out of the park when he fell and suffered severe head trauma around 11 p.m. Tuesday — about 45 minutes after the Cubs’ game against the Cincinnati Reds. He was rushed by a private ambulance to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. Garrity was pronounced dead around 3:33 p.m. on Wednesday.

I wonder what part of the the ballpark this happened, exactly

 

and did he get pushed or just stumble or something?

45 minutes after the game ended is a long time after a game ends.

[Omar]

yeah usually ushers are quick to tell you to get out ~15 minutes after the game ends.

If you're in a box, they don't push you out.

right, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a long time after a game ends. Meaning you aren't getting jostled around by a crowd or anything and probably increasing the odds you're shitfaced.

Just finished the Verducci book. Really good stuff in there. Some cool stories about the start of the rebuild, Maddon's background, etc. The bit about the team meeting during the rain delay was great.

Of 272 players with 200 batted balls last year, no Cub ranked above #100 in average exit velocity, and they won 103 games.

NM, didn't see TT's post at the bottom of the last page.

“I have nothing to lose.”

that's a man who took Trump's message to heart

 

"Still trying to figure out what part of the constitution this violates... :-k"

 

Ironically, this sums up Donald's decision making process.

I'll guess this one gets a lot of play around here.

LOL. It looks like Rondon is doing an impersonation of Strope running down the 3rd base line during walk off HR celebrations.

[davell]

 

Still love Z.

[Sammy Sofa]

horsefeathers yeah. I gotta find him for an online game and then let him win.

Total tangent, but some of the team abbreviations in there are bizarre. I've never seen the Cardinals as SLN before.

You just never know when the St. Louis Browns are going to make their triumphant return to the American League.
