The tickets specifically say the ticket holder voluntarily assumes all risk of injury from flying objects including balls and bats. No one reads it though.
I have tickets to a game at Fenway in July. Third row and in the same area as this lady. Maybe we should bring helmets.
About a month ago at Fenway a lady was going back to her seat in the front row right behind home plate. She had her back to the field. The batter fouled a ball straight back into the net. However, the net flexed in because of the force of the ball a hit the lady right in the back of the head. It knocked her out cold. They stopped play to haul her away.
When I took my son to his first game at Fenway I told him that he had to pay attention to the game because of fly balls, etc.
So many Pink Hats go to Fenway now and spend most of the game on their cell phone.
Someone else mentioned making aluminium bats OK in the majors.
Are you nuts. People would be getting killed every week in the stands. Aluminum bats should not be legal in Little League much less the major league.Infielders have to wear helmets and face masks now because of the velocity that the ball comes off a metal bat. They would also need to make all the parks bigger because every player would be hitting 550 foot home runs.
I hope this lady is OK. I also hope everyone around her learned a valuable lesson to PAY ATTENTION to the Game.
Just bring Tuukka Rask with you, and you shouldn't have any problems.
