Thanks for the ping to this one. Someone pinged me to a related thread yesterday:

Here’s Why You Better “Go Hands Free” at the Baseball Game – Video

Yikes... too many baseballs going astray lately for my taste.

Did you see THIS one?

Ouch! Twins’ Span hits mother with foul ball

Wow...

“How’s the game”?

“I’m having a ball......oooooommmmmphhh”!

People still use cell phones to talk on? Wow. I use mine for texting, facebook, Youtube, and Fox news.

Baseball can be tough as a spectator

Just ask nutmeg

“Can you see me now?...3rd row, behind the dugout, can you see me now? Yo bro, whazzup? Can you see me NOW?... OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!” I’m the guy with the broken nose, blood coming down, all the cameras on me, can you see me now???”

I think a lot of it is over people talking on cell phones while driving and either having or causing accidents.

I have an earphone. Although it keeps me from having accidents, a lot of people think I'm crazy and talking to myself when I'm out on a street talking to someone. At least I think it's the cell phone that makes them think I'm crazy. Maybe. Maybe not.

There are a lot of “GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!” Freepers who are negative against everything that is suspiciously after 1985. If their most recent cultural reference is “Cheers: The Diane Years” you may be dealing with one.

People on the phone while driving are a hazard (and hands free really doesn’t help much, the problem is the brain more than the hand, people thinking about the conversation aren’t watching traffic). But even when not driving, many people on the cell are really loud, which can be unintentionally funny (like when their loudly discussing the VD tests they’ve had and why in the grocery store), but when it’s not funny it’s generally rude and annoying.

One of the problems with this country is misplaced priorities. And that most men are more interested in watching other men play games than actually living as men.

"Most"??

This broad finds that broad brush extremely offensive.

I dont get people who have seats that close to the action and they dont watch the game and yapp on their cell phones. Well this is an example of what can happen to ya.

I have a cell phone that I use just to talk on (and on occasion take a picture). I have a real bottom level plan.

It could have been a hot dog or a Blond instead of a cell phone. Are they dangerous too?
