Kenny Campbell, Who Fell Out Of The Stands At Phillies Game, Interviewed By Matt Lauer

Only In America Are You Rewarded For Extreme Stupidity
8/29/08
I really do like this country of ours for the most part, but if there's one thing I honestly don't understand, it's how we're pretty much the only country out there that seems to go out of our way to reward stupidity.
Take Kenny Campbell, for instance. He was the 10-year-old kid who yesterday fell out of the right field stands while catching a batting practice moon shot. Thankfully, all he got was a few bruises from his fall. Actually, that's not true, he got so much more than just bruises that if I were him, I might think of falling out of the stands again.
The Phillies front office gave Campbell a bat and a ball, both signed by Ryan Howard, and a pair of tickets "to a future game." He also got to appear on the Today Show this morning, because, you know, there's absolutely nothing going on today. I mean, it's not like there was a huge nomination last night or a vice-presidential selection today to be concerned about.
Perhaps the funniest thing about all of this is that it came out that Campbell isn't actually a Phillies fan, but a Yankees fan. Which means two things. One, his fall pretty much mirrors the Yankees season perfectly. And two, he better not attend that Phillies game he got tickets to, because if I know my Phillies fans correctly (and I do), they'll throw Campbell out of the stands this time around.
