Twins outfielder Denard Span, fouled off a ball today against the Yankees that hit a fan in the chest. The lucky fan...his mom.
He could probably never do that again if he tried.

Yikes.
That is terrible, but at least she is ok. The Twins should have just pulled him after that....no way would he be able to focus.

Hahaha, has nothing to do with the thread title but I have story like that too. We used to have a student section called the Left Field Lunatics when I was in high school--sit out in left field on top of a flat bed truck to see over the fence, grill food, bang on a big bass drum, heckle the opposition, etc. Just generally a wild group of fans. But this one kid I went to high school with had to drive his moms Trail Blazer to the game because he had just wrecked his car. She specifically told him to park out in the parking lot and not in left field behind the fence like everyone else who sat out there. He did anyways, in the first inning somebody jacked a homer...right through the back window. The look on his face was one of the most priceless things I've ever seen lol.thavoice wrote: had a player once hit a foul ball into the parking lot.

I remember playing hot stove baseball, and the baseball fields were in town and a bunch of houses rested behind the home run fence. We had this absolute stud on our team then who's now with the a double A team for the pirates. Well his house was behind the fence, he smacked a home run and the ball went through his room's window. The cool part though: the window was open- bullseye!

If you got a video of that happening today people would say it was faked. I am a little suspicious of the story actually!Fabio wrote: I remember playing hot stove baseball, and the baseball fields were in town and a bunch of houses rested behind the home run fence.
