A Yankees fan has filed a $10 million lawsuit against two ESPN announcers contending they mocked him when he was caught on national television sleeping in his seat during a game at Yankee Stadium.

Andrew Robert Rector admits in court documents he "napped" during a game against the Boston Red Sox on April 13, but says commentators Dan Shulman and John Kruk unleashed an "avalanche of disparaging words" against him. The suit says they used words like "fatty" and "stupid."


$10 Million?? WTF??

3. He doesn't have a case. When you attend a televised event, you agree to have your likeness filmed.

It's in the fine print on your ticket stub.

5. No case.

The ESPN guys were mild, the nasty stuff was posted online with the video.
