Update…: Fat Damage
The 300-pound fan who fell on a woman and broke her back at Shea Stadium was so drunk he couldn’t even chant “Let’s Go Mets,” the woman’s lawyer said today.
Timothy Cassidy was so blasted before his drunken tumble onto lawyer Ellen Massey on Opening Day in 2007 he could barely walk, was picking fights with random fans and dropping the “L” from the “Let’s go Mets” chants, Massey’s lawyer said in court yesterday.
“He was unable to pronounce the word ‘Phillies’ or say ‘Let’s Go Mets,'” Massey’s lawyer, Joshua Kelner, told Justice Judith Gische.
Cassidy was also berating his fellow fans in the upper deck for not being loud enough, Kelner said.
“Why aren’t you cheering for the Mets? I’ll kick your f—ing ass!” Kelner quoted him as saying.
The lawyer levelled the allegations to bolster his client’s contention that the Mets and their beer vendor should be held responsible for his client’s injuries for serving the obvious drunk more beer and for failing to have security remove him from the game.
