A tragedy. Whenever we attended as a family I sat closest to the plate in order to intercept balls--but ricochets are inevitable.

Richie Ashburn fouled off a ball in the '50s that hit and injured a woman. After a delay, as they were stretchering her out he hit her again! He visited her in the hospital, invited her to meet the team once she recovered, and they became lifelong penpals.

One death in how many decades and hundreds of thousands of games? Far more dangerous to cross the street in your own neighbourhood.
