At Shea Stadium, Mets fan Gregory Sweeney is arrested and charged with reckless endangerment after he throws a ball back onto the field which John Rocker had tossed into the stands. A few day later, the 26-year old Brooklyn man will be exonerated as Queens District Attorney Richard Brown concludes he had no criminal intent and was doing nothing more than following a baseball tradition of returning an unsolicited and unwanted souvenir.
