This guy however, made it a little rougher on his scalp, and himself. Our friend goes after a foul ball tossed in his direction during a recent Cubs game against the Milwaukee Brewers, and promptly falls onto the field of play.

The Chicago Cubs recently fired general manager Jim Hendry, after 17 years with the organization, including the last nine as general manager. No doubt, the Cubs have struggled the last few years, but did they fire the wrong guy?

The Chicago Cubs, who hold the second worst record in the National League, have fired General Manager Jim Hendry. Hendry served in the capacity for nine years.  The Cubs won division titles in 2003, 2007 and 2008.  The Cubs came within five outs of the World Series in 2003. Hendr...
