Would it hurt baseball to invest in some netting to prevent such events?

I was at an Oakland A's game several years ago, a woman two seats away from me took a foul ball to the left cheek -- and we were thirty rows back behind the third base dugout.

You attend MLB, you keep your eyes open and yourself ready to move. This was a very young child, one can't expect the same reflexes. Thank God she is going to be okay, for the sake of her and her family and for Russell Martin, I can only imagine how he would be feeling if she had been killed by that ball.

You can hardly see that netting but, it could save someones’s life.
