But I do think MLB may have to impose much larger netting in all ballparks (the same as they do at Japanese professional baseball parks) because one of these days, a foul ball going into the stands at over 80 mph or a sharp fragment of a broken bat going into the stands at over 50 mph will hit someone with tragic results.

Perhaps MLB should enclose the entire area where fans sit with high impact resistant Plexiglas. Or make every fan wear batting helmets. That would make it a lot more fun to watch a game. / s /

Spectators getting hit and seriously injured with broken bats or foul balls are a very rare occurrence.

Spectators getting hit and seriously injured with broken bats or foul balls are a very rare occurrence.

While that may be true, one tragic death (and the gigantic wrongful death lawsuits that will result afterward) will change everything overnight.
