The sky is falling on an Astros' fan

The sky is falling on an Astros' fan

What is the deal with foul balls and Astros games this season?

Seems every time something wacky goes on in the stands with a ball (or bat), it has happened during a game in which Houston is playing.

It happened again on Monday night at Minute Maid Park.

Tampa Bay outfielder Matt Joyce hit what looked like a harmless foul ball, at least to the fan who watched it fly over his head to the upper deck.

But, the ball smacked off one of the facades just below the deck and flew back down to the section below, smacking a fan in the head when he wasn't looking as if he were Chicken Little and the sky was falling.

The fan fell down, hitting his leg on the armrest of a chair, and rolled in what appeared to be a little bit of pain in the isle, oddly enough holding his leg and not his head.

So, Astros fans, you have been warned.  The foul ball curse looks to be over your stands this year...be sure to bring your glove to the game.
