The last Tigers game I attended there was a young girl who was seated directly behind home plate and was grasping the safety net with both hand and had her face up against it.

The batter hit a foul tip and the ball sailed back and hit the girl square in the face..........

I don't know, it's a tough call. With more and more of today's bats breaking and sailing off into the stands, maybe there is some justification for additional protection of the spectators........

When it comes down to it, the decision will be lawsuit driven and that's just the way it is..........

Broken bats are an issue. Let’s go with aluminum bats, annotate the record books, and eliminate a significant hazard to players and to a lesser extent the fans. As far as foul balls go pay attention or take your chances. You can block the smell with a touch of Vicks at the nostril or bathe regularly.
