                 1 Doug yarris, declare:
               '  1)  The foIlawing  information  is within  my personal knowledge, and if,calIed to
    @Id  testify to the same information.
                2)  On October Y,2001, I had scats in the Seventh Row of  Section 146 in the Arcade of
    l&&c  Bell Park with my son Travis.  At the time that Barry Bonds came to bit  in the First
    &ag,  I walked down to the Standing Room Only area of the Arcade area, in t%hopes that
    ,j  ,.
    vary Bonds would hit a home run in that direction.
                3)  When Barry Bonds hit his 73ti Home Run, I tioved  in ,the direction of the ball in
    &mPt to catch the baseball. I saw PLAINTIFF  ALEX  POPOV (hcreina~ter POPOV) catch the
    dlI,in his mitt and bring the ball and rni~ to his body. 1 heard the sound of the'ball bit the
    :ather of tie  mitt.  POPOV did everything  he could possibly do to retain posse&ion of the b&.
    
    
    
      1             4)  Within seconds after catching ,the ball, POPOV was attacked, assaulted,
      2     knocked to the ground by no less than six and as manjr fifteen individuals.  As a part of
      3  assault and battery, I was also knocked to the ground with  my head facing the direction of
      4  P,OPOV's face. While looking in the direction of the POPOV, I s&w the baseball still inside the
      5  mitt beneath POPOV's body. There was no loose ball and no scurrying around :for a ball
      6             5)  I saw DEFENDANT  PATRICK  HAYASHJ  on his hands and knees very near
      7  POPOV. I  lost sight of IKAYASHI  and heard a child ye11 out in pain.  I  thea saw HAYASHI
