BIN LADEN, LOSER. It is difficult to conceive of a story more September 10 than Pittsburgh Pirate Randall Simon's prank gone wrong. The story, however, was all over the national newscasts, the topic of conversation on national, regional, and local talk radio. I was travelling toward points north that day and the family and friends I met with along the way all had a lot to say, most of it in a jocular vein, about the story. Betsy's Page had the story, as did Best of the Web (go here for commentary.) The resolution is about right: Simon gets a suspension for doing something dumb, and pays a $432 fine for disorderly conduct. Both of the employees who fell down receive autographed bats and an apology from Simon. This Dale Hofmann essay got it about right. Dave Barry weighs in. as does Scrapple Face.
