Look out below! Fried cholesterol falling!
In the seventh inning of Tuesday night's 5-4 loss to the Minnesota Twins, New York Yankees left fielder Andruw Jones chased a fly ball into foul territory and came out wearing half of your brother's standing order at Hardee's instead.
Yes, you read that correctly. Jones was not hit by a dropped beer. Not by some lost peanuts. Not even by a bouncing bag of Cracker Jack.�He was hit by an ovation of onion rings.
Ah, yes. The fella in the Yankees cap here tried to use his cardboard onion ring basket �to catch the ball from Jason Kubel and ? surprise! ? it didn't work that well. Don't laugh at his effort, either: Those Yankee Stadium onion rings aren't free. He probably lost at least $8.50 just counting those two flying rings in the picture up top.

Luckily, Jones ? who hit his 408th career homer earlier in the night ? was able to manage a smile after dusting himself free of fried onion and reporting back to territory that was free of falling fast food. The Associated Press reported that a groundskeeper later came out with a trashcan and collected the debris.
Presumably, as Late Show writer Eric Stangel joked on Twitter, so that the Yankees and Steiner Sports could sell them as "game-used" for the low, low price of $299.
I'd keep an eye on eBay if you're interested.
