Injured A's fan, husband defend heckling <br />Lisa Leff / Associated Press <br /><br /><br />Jennifer Bueno, 41, appeared with her husband, Craig, at a news conference with a large white bandage covering her nose and purple rings under her eyes. <br /><br />"We definitely feel the Texas Rangers are responsible for this and that they should pay for this," personal injury lawyer Gary Gwilliam said. <br /><br />"It's an American tradition," the 42-year-old fire battalion chief said of his heckling, adding that he and his wife bought season tickets near the visitors' bullpen just "so we can get on them a little bit." He said he had never been ejected from a game for being overly aggressive or rude toward players. <br /><br />"It's part of going to the baseball game," said Jennifer Bueno, a homemaker who cares for the couple's three teenage sons. "I don't think (Craig) did anything wrong." <br /><br />Craig Bueno said that when "a sea of blue" Rangers led by reliever Doug Brocail approached their seats, he "took a defensive position" by standing in front of his wife to shield her, but ducked when he saw the chair winging his way. Jennifer Bueno said she doesn't remember being struck, but that she was "fearful for my life" when the confrontation turned ugly. <br /><br />Key Phrase: "fearful for my life"<br /><br /><br />The trial lawyers will target which of the deep pockets:<br /><br />A) The Texas Rangers<br />B) Individual Players<br />C) The Oakland A's<br />D) The Security force for not being there.<br />F) The gounds crew for no bolting down the chair<br />G) The chair manufacturer for not posting warnings<br />H) Alameda County the owner of the Stadium.<br />I) Buck Shoewalter the manager of the Rangers<br />J) GW Bush <br />K) The city council of Oakland<br />L) Oakland police force<br />M) other
