A fan at Tuesday’s Cubs-Diamondbacks game could have been seriously injured, if not for the plastic bucket they were wearing on their head, according to the Chicago Tribune.
A 19-year-old man sitting in the centerfield bleachers was hit on the head by a footlong metal tile that fell from the manually operated scoreboard. The big hunk of metal could have caused some serious damage, except the man—for some reason—was wearing a plastic bucket on his head.
The fan was not unharmed, though. He was taken to a local hospital and needed five staples to close a cut on his head, a team spokesman told the Tribune.
