How were they cheated? They self-destructed.
If you are talking about the fan incident, it shouldn't have mattered.
What I find funny is that people are blaming this guy. For more than 20 years my family had season tickets over the Padre's dugout, field level, three rows up. In that time, never...
NEVER did I look at the field or players when a ball was heading in our direction. You keep your eye on the ball or you run the risk of getting hit (and not catching the ball).
Was this guy the only one reaching for the ball?
NO! I counted 6 other people reaching for the ball also.
What would you have done? A baseball is coming down right at you. Do you:
(a) look up and watch the in coming ball?
(b) look straight down (in the completely opposite direction of the in coming ball) at a player below you (that you don't know is there?
I have watch people get hurt when they didn't see the ball coming at them. He had to watch the ball. When he saw he had a chance at it, he had every right to reach for it.
On a side note, I thought it was interesting that the Chicago Sun-Times was the paper that posted his identity. Wasn't that the same paper that first publish the CIA agent's name? They seem to have some issues there.
