You Be the Judge.(Brief Article)
Grandma Boody, being something of a tradition among local baseball regulars, was stung when a new usher showed concern over her sitting in an unscreened box between third base and home. "Young fellow, I've dodged more balls than these palookas ever will hit," she said tartly. Nevertheless, the usher watched over her until the last of the ninth inning, when he went outside to help direct departing fans. A foul bounced in beside Grandma. In the scramble for the prize, she was knocked from her seat and hurt. She sued.
"I paid to see a ball game, not to be trampled in a riot," she complained. "If your usher had remained where he belonged, I would have been protected from those roughhouse tactics."
