When Stephen Drew hit a home run into the right-field stands last Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium, Nick Paccione watched it sail over his head. The next thing he knew, the ball ricocheted off a seat behind him and right into his hands.
A few minutes later, he recognized Eddie Fastook, the Yankees’ head of security, coming down the aisle toward him. He suddenly had a sinking feeling.
“I knew who Eddie was,” said Paccione, a lifelong Yankees fan from Commack, N.Y. “Right away, I’m thinking, uh-oh, what did I do wrong?”
But Fastook was there to make Paccione a deal too good to pass up.
