Can we expense the baseball?

Carlos Lee of the Houston Astros nearly cost the Bee a computer. The Houston Astros slugger slammed a shot off the facade of the upper deck, three rows below where we're sitting, for a long foul ball.

Our esteemed baseball writer Nick Peters' machine suffered a similar fate at Dodger Stadium a few years back when a foul ball into the press box at Chavez Ravine crushed his laptop.
