And now, ladies (yeah, right) and germs, your slow news day in the buff: Earlier today a Cubs fan fell 14 feet over the outfield railing during batting practice at Miller Park.
From ChicagoBreakingSports.com:
The man wearing Cubs gear and believed to be in his 20s was trying to catch a ball in the left field corner when he fell over a railing into an area behind the left field wall. The Cubs’ trainers rushed out to try and provide help, and batting practice was halted.
There was no immediate word on the extent of the injury, though the fan was said to be conscious when the paramedics arrived. Brewers head athletic trainer Roger Caplinger said the man was cut and bleeding from the face.
Hope the guy is OK. Per usual, Lou Piniella has placed the fan on the 15-day DL. Micah Hoffpauir has been called up from Triple-A Iowa to take his place.
