CHICAGO -- A man who was wearing a plastic bucket on his head when a large metal pin fell from Wrigley Field's center field scoreboard during a Chicago Cubs game said he feels lucky to be alive.
Kyle McAleer was sitting with his family and friends under the manual scoreboard when he was hit by a 6- to 8-inch pin during last week's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The 20-year-old Iowa man said he began wearing the bucket with his family as a "rally cap" after he saw former Cubs player Starlin Castro wear one a few years ago.
