“Nosebleed” doesn’t even begin to cover it

A Kirkland man sitting in the upper deck of Yankee Stadium last week found himself with a broken neck after a man above him fell down the steep steps and landed on him [PI]. He’s had surgery, and they put a screw in his neck to help it heal–you know, like Frankenstein’s monster–and he has fortunately come out of it both able to breathe and not paralyzed. It did, however, put a major damper on his family’s vacation.

They’d been on an East Coast baseball pilgrimage, and I wonder if he’ll be doing his baseball watching from his own couch from now on, rooting against the Yankees.

    Rooting against the Yankees is the *only* way to watch baseball, be it in a hospital bed, on the couch, in a bar, at the ball park…

    Heck, even when I’m not watching baseball, I’m rooting against the Yankees.

    That’s what you get for going to a Yankees game. Period.
