Say cheese

If you haven't seen the grisly footage yet, I envy you and, for the brave, I'm sure you can find it online or, better yet, the link: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=270416102. During a Boston Red Sox game Monday, a fan was savagely hit in the back with a large piece of pizza. The incident happened following a Red Sox player reaching over into the stands to grab a foul ball. Between the spilled beer and the piece of pizza, (whose thrower was easily picked up by another camera angle) I cannot remember a more disturbing instance of food waste. And the way the pizza splattered off that guy's jacket, it looked like the really good, greasy kind. Hope you can check out the footage yourself but, again, not for the squeamish. Oh yeah, above, is an artist's rendition of what the pizza slice looked like.
