Andrew Rector tried to achieve the American dream (which is to win a frivolous lawsuit), but he failed miserably. The napping Yankees fan who tried to sue for $10 million had his case thrown out, and that is good for American society at large.
Mr. Rector sued ESPN, the game's announcers, the NY Yankees, and Major League Baseball claiming that he was defamed something fierce. Rector alleged that the ESPN announcers made fun of him with an "unending verbal crusade." But, that right there shows the plaintiff in the case is a liar. If it was "unending," they would still be bombarding him with their word onslaught. He also said that the announcers, John Kruk and Don Shulman, called him mean names like "fatty" and "stupid." I watched the video, and that is simply not true. Not only did I watch the video, I also listened to it.
The judge ruled that nothing that the announcers said was defamatory and the sleeping giant had his case put to rest.
There is no word on whether or not Mr. Rector still attends Yankees games. I tried to reach him with smoke signals, but he hasn't responded, yet.
