Since when did they start selling brew at the ballpark? That was shot down in the late 80s.

Poor dude looks like he's being railroaded. There were some vids. One showing him drinking from a cup and another showing some chick tossing the beer can. I suppose they couldn't get a good shot of her so they just label the guy close by that they have a good shot of.

I saw that video and thought it was the mysterious women who miraculously disappeared from the photo. But I did see another video that sure looked like him throwing the can with a little flick of the wrist.

Well, I know the Green Goblin/Norman Osborn character from the Spider-Man comics/movies.
I don't get the association with this guy or this story.

I'm with you, GD. My knowledge of Spider-Man mythology is weak, but the Green Goblin didn't throw beer cans at people, did he?
