I saw this happen in STL, late 50s or early 60s. High pop foul behind the plate and the woman was just looking forward and a guy behind her missed catching the ball completely. Hit her right on top of her head and bounced into the second deck.
Yep. Exactly what happened in Denver. We watched the whole thing is the ball arched slowly and surely as it returned to Earth. She was talking to the person sitting next to her and wasn’t paying attention. The human head must be pretty hard because like your story the ball bounced off of her head at least 60 feet into the air. She never knew what happened.
