Motion for summary pudgement.
At that point, the score was 2 to 1, as the fan slept on seats 4 and 5.
Is that Trooper York?
If he is claiming some sort of humiliation... the suit is certainly adding to it.
Maybe a new employee of Troopers.
He's in a public place known to house cameras which rove the crowd so there's no invasion of privacy and opinion (by the commentators) is not actionable defamation. Maybe he's hoping ESPN will pay him rather than their lawyers.
If you ever read the fine print on a baseball ticket, by using the ticket you basically agree to waive any rights to damages from injuries resulting from batted balls etc.
I wonder if there is any similar legalese pertaining to the use of your image by any media covering the game.
The Yankee defense can be that they hire fatsos, too. Just look at Sabathia and Hideki Irabu.
10M$. That will pay for a lot of naps. It's the American way.
Suing for leisure.
It's a Yankees-Red Sox game. He probably missed 3 pitches at most.
Good luck with that lawsuit.
Very true ChipS
He'll settle for a season's discount at the hot dog stand. Hey, six bucks is 6 bucks.
I think it depends what, if anything, the sportscasters said while the camera rested on him. They're invariably polite, and usually would say something mild like, 'someones having an afternoon siesta.'
What they said in the 1st 1:20 was innocent enough, but the last :23 was scrubbed by MLB.
Let sleeping giant yankee fans lie. IN COURT!
Typical Yankee fan (sorry Troop, but it is true).
$10 million, even if they lost, that will cost the Yankees a third base coach?
Given what the Yankees charge for that seat, he is entitled to sleep in it undisturbed!
I guess he has a case then. Good for him, those announcers sound like complete asses.
What did they say? Something about Shamu?
Isn't Kruk the guy Letterman used to call a fat tub of goo?
Deborah, maybe all of Kruk's asshole-restraint instincts were in his missing testicle. Maybe the Uniballer is just unable to stop being an ass now.
How many fucking beers and hot dogs did that mamaluke have? Maybe he's in the Witness Protection Program.
Of course, Kruk won't have any problems determining if he dresses left or right now.
And here's hoping he was a roider, or the one ball he has left will be shriveled and weak.
Damn, Trooper really needs to be here for this.
Terry Forster was a southpaw reliever Letterman called a "Fat tub of goo."
Thanks for clearing that up, Spinelli.
I'm just used to sportscasters being pleasant and having a light touch. The Cleveland guy is a sweetheart.
Are these two like a comedy team or something, known for being ribald or cutting? I don't know them.
And yet it was Letterman who needed bypass surgery. Go figure.
Was Kruk the color guy?
No, he's white.
Hey, it had to be said.
Good thing they didn't make fun of the guy's haircut.
Ho ho ho.
Yankee fans only sleep when the Red Sox are up.
I agree that with what the seats cost nowadays you should be able to do anything you want there up to and including taking a dump.
Well he probably won't win but I doubt that's the point. He wants to make them sweat. Maybe they'll fire the announcers, depending on what they actually said. They'll offer him a small amount to make the nuisance suit go away and maybe he'll hurt the guys who used him to get their kicks.
People got no judgement these days.
LOL Trooper
Somebody get a "paper bell"
Joan Rivers
Lem just posted that photo because it has a shot of his favorite blogger in it.
Is he sleeping or trying to cadge a glimpse down Althouse's sweats?
He fainted because she was taking a photo of her lady bits.
Trooper...you mean this one?
Oh, wait ...
Oh and I second what Meade said: Happy Blog anniversary!
He might not have been asleep. Isn't that how Yankee fans usually look?
That's from last season. That's A-Rod.
Neither side should win.
