A Mets fan is suing the Mets, the beer concession stand in CitiField (formerly known as Shea Stadium), and the union of security guards for the team. Her reason? She was literally squashed like a bug by a fellow Mets fan who weighs approximately 300 pounds.
According to the Gothamist, Ms. Ellen Massey was severely injured by a fat man falling on her during an opening day Mets game at Shea Stadium back in 2007. The New York Post reports that Ms. Massey was watching the game with her nephews when Mr. Timothy Cassidy fell from a few rows above and literally crushed her.
The case gets even crazier. Mr. Cassidy allegedly ran away before Ms. Massey could identify the person who fell on her. However, once he had been identified, his attorney said another person was to blame for Mr. Cassidy’s fall. The New York Post reports that Mr. Cassidy claims that he fell because he was pushed by fellow Mets fan Eric Metzger. Mr. Metzger was annoyed because Mr. Cassidy kept using his Blackberry during the game. I guess he was taking him out of the ballgame! I may be a flashy girl from Flushing, but remind me to be careful next time I head out to a Mets game.
