The Media's Foul Ball
A man at a Chicago Cubs baseball game tried to catch a foul ball, which prevented the outfielder from catching it. The event ended up costing the Cubs a trip to the World Series. The media has to decide whether or not to reveal the man's identity because it could pose a risk to him.

I think that this would be a situation where the man's identity should remain private. He hasn't committed a crime, and the release of the information could pose a serious threat. Sports fans get very involved, and several threats had already been made towards him during that game. If his name is released, him and his family would likely be harassed.
