So this is a description or account of a game without the express written permission of major league baseball?? This guy is in trouble!

I heard he was trying to pop one over to her as a souvenior. When he ran over there he was overheard saying “Mom - you were supposed to catch it!” ;)

Glad to here the gal is okay! What a scare for them both.

Baseball foul balls are more dangerous than people think

[Mears]

Everytime I see one go into the stands I wince.

[Bruinator]

It was not subject to approval, therefore ok to report.

Bob Feller threw a pitch that was fouled off and hit his mother.

Mother's day, 1939

Soft tissue injuries are time bombs. The internal bleeding causes the real damage hours later. She should get to a hospital and get some imaging done, while we are not in the thrall yet of the deadly Obama-medical-restraints.

I was sitting center seat first row behind the Red Sox dugout (Best seats i ever got there) in the early 80’s.
A foul ball laser beam was lauched at us.
We all ducked except this one young girl who caught it right on the side of her head.
I never seen so much blood.

I duck even quicker nowadays....

I wince when these maple bats shatter. Only a matter of time before someone really gets hurt with one of these wooden daggers.

As long as it’s not Roger clemens throwing it at you...
