CLEVELAND, OH – At
a Cleveland Indians game on Sunday, lifetime fan Greg Van Niel caught four foul
balls, an incredibly lucky feat that does not change the fact that he’s from
Cleveland and cheers for the Indians. Mr. Van Neil is a season ticket holder,
which unfortunately means he was not there by some sad accident. Four times
throughout the game, he reached up and snatched an errant foul ball right out
of the sky, an amazing occasion that brought him great joy, at least until he
looked back down at his jersey to read “Cleveland” brazened across the front, bringing
back all those sad memories of his town and upbringing. Odds makers put the chances of catching four
foul balls at 1 in a trillion; regrettably, his odds of living and
working in one of the worst places in the world stand at 1 in 1. Mr. Van Neil
finally admitted after the game, “I guess it wasn’t that lucky. I mean there
were only like 50 or so people at the game, and most of them were too depressed
to even get out of their seats.” The Cleveland Indians ended up winning the
game against the Kansas City Royals 6-4, but alas they’re still the
Cleveland Indians.
