Remember the Astros fan who evacuated his date just as a smoked foul ball approached their Minute Maid Field seats on Monday night?
Located in seats down the left-field line, Sara Saco-Vertiz was struck flush on the right arm by the ball after her date, Bo Wyble, scrambled out of the way - exposing her to the liner off the bat of Chris Johnson.
The couple resurfaced Thursday morning on CBS and in an interview with Harry Smith confirmed that they have broken up since the incident.
Saco-Veritz told Smith that the split was not over Wyble’s failure to wear a glove in her most vulnerable state, but somehow I have a feeling that sad abandonment may have hastened the relationship’s demise.
Below is video and a partial transcript of the interview.
Harry Smith: “Bo, what did you say?”
Bo: “I said ‘I’ll catch it if it comes this way.’“Harry Smith: “You said that? … What happened to you?”
Bo: “I stood up to catch it but when it got really close I lost sight of it so I moved and I figured she would’ve moved (by then).”
Harry Smith: “If you had to do it over again, what would you do differently?”
Bo: “I’d stand up in front of her and … probably … let it (the ball) hit me. … probably in the back.”
Harry Smith: “So are you guys still a couple?”
Sara: “(Sighs) … It’s not over because of the ball.”
Harry Smith: “There’s more than we want to know.“

She’s not helpless. Equality. It’s her stupid hyphenated name. Her father is probably a wimp. Hyphen last names produce selfish and needy people…like her.
