Quoted: If stadiums do it on their own, GREAT.Quoted: dollars to donuts they will put nets in stadiums to catch fans. Seems like a reasonable thing to do, actually, I'm surprised most stadiums didn't do this years ago in risky areas, due to the obvious liability. No need to mandate they have them. |

There was actually a great article in the Dallas paper about the incident with the firefighter who died trying to grab a tossed ball:
Nolan Ryan had a news conference and specifically said they wouldn't change policy The player who threw the ball also said it was a big part of the game and he'd want to keep doing it. None of the typical cover your ass crap and nanny state rules put into place in no time. |
