At a baseball game, look out for the line drive foul balls

Young Yankees fan hit and injured by foul ball

Like Brian Dozier said, "Every stadium needs to have nets. That's it. I don't care about the ... damn, view of the fan, or what," Dozier said. "It's all about safety. I still have a knot in my stomach, I don't know if you guys saw it, but we need nets or don't put kids down there."

Great game, my mother loved baseball, now I will be looking for the child's progress.

I was at a game earlier this year and a lady in the next section to us got hit in the head with a line drive. Fortunately it was a glancing blow but holy shit that ball was moving! If you are getting "good seats" close to the field you better not be doing selfies.

I heard it clocked at 105 MPH

People always think of those lazy fly balls that drift into the seats to be caught by fans as souvenirs

The reality in those seats by the dugouts is screaming foul balls at 100 mph that you have an instant to react to

Baseball has to protect the fans

I'm listening to the radio broadcast of the Twins-Tigers game and the Twins announcer just reported the little girl is in the hospital with a broken nose.
