Standing room only: Fan uses stilts to watch game

American baseball's most prestigious championship series, the World Series, began this weekend. For one fan who wanted to see the action, he decided that paying the high ticket prices just wasn't for him. Instead, he donned 4-foot stilts and watched the game through the steel gates from the parking lot. 29-year-old Brian Harpster said that he could see the pitching, the outfield and any balls hit in play, though he could not see the batters. In case you were wondering, Harpster stuck with nonalcoholic beer to keep his balance. Which, considering the 7-2 score, we kind of hope we was a Cardinal's fan. If not, I'll bet he was ruing the decision to wear stilts.
