-- Steve Blass lacked control as a Pirates pitcher, and he lacks control as a Pirates broadcaster. When a foul ball dropped in his booth in Cincinnati, Blass leaned over and dropped it toward a kid. But the ball hit the kid on the head in the second deck and bounced to the lower deck and hit another kid on the head. One of the kids joined Blass as a guest in the booth, where it was safer.
Rumor has it that the other kid was tossed from the game after trying to charge the broadcast booth.
