1970. 47 years ago. That is how far back they had to go to find someone killed by a foul ball. How many MLB foul balls have been hit into the stands since then?
BTW, Manny Mota was one of my favorite Dodgers at the time. One of the best pinch hitters in baseball.

My second favorite moment from my favorite all-time favorite game. Manny Mota’s pinch hit double after 40 year old Vic Davilillo’s pinch-hit bunt single against the Phillies in the NL playoffs in 1977:

Last year 73 million people attended MLB games.
Let’s say 50 million is a mean number over the past 47 years. That’s a 1 in 2.3 billion chance of being killed by a foul ball.
