Fat Mets Fan

Ellen Massey went to the Mets home opener at Shea Stadium on Monday.

Shortly after the seventh-inning stretch, she said, a man dressed in a green Army-type jacket tumbled from higher seats and onto her back, knocking the wind out of her and, ultimately, causing serious injury.

Massey's nephew, Peter Rubens, 35, of Brooklyn, said the first sign that something was amiss was a splash of beer flying onto her at about 4 p.m., then a bump from the man, who is unidentified.

"We were sitting and watching the ball game," he said. "And in a split-second a rather large person, a man, came sort of tumbling down upon us and basically landed on my aunt's head and neck."

i should have sued the Giants when a drunk fan got punched in the face and landed on my back. He wasn't 300 pounds, but he did cause me to miss a play.
