Mets settle suit with woman injured by falling fat man at Shea
Fat’s all, folks! A woman who had her back broken by a falling fat guy at Shea Stadium has settled her big buck lawsuit against the Mets, court records show.
Ellen Massey blamed the team for her injuries, contending they knew or should have known the drunken 300-pound fan five rows above her was a problem, and they did nothing to stop him from tormenting the other people in her section.

At the 20-mile mark of a gruelling, rain-soaked marathon, other runners must have been tempted. But only one succumbed.
