Right place wrong time

Yesterday I was in Defiance, Ohio for Sam Hornish Jr Day. Sam won the Indianapolis 500 back in May and since the IRL is only a few hours away at Michigan International Speedway. The town, IRL and Indy 500 thought it would be a good time for a parade. It was a nice and easy story except for my one flaw. I always have something stupid happen.

I was finished shooting Sam at a local hospital for a greet and meet when I took my camera off my shoulder I hit something. Well, that something was someone and that someone was Crystal Hornish AKA Sam's wife. I hit her in the shoulder with 36lbs camera. She was ok, luckily it was only a grazing hit, but every time I go to a big sporting event I do something stupid or have a misunderstanding of sorts:
  1. Almost ran over Ozzie Guillen at the All-Star game
  2. In advertantly blocked Mike Wilban from the drink station in the media room at a Cleveland Cav's game
  3. Yelled KOO!!!! in the Reds press box when said player was pitching
  4. Was accused of making an anti-Semitic comment when all I said was I was out of "juice" That what happens when I'm dehydrated and on a sugar low. I slur my words, pick up my southern accent and talk faster.

Overall I'm a good shooter, but stupid things just happen to me.


At least I'm not this guy.
