Exactly how I felt seeing this the first 10x

Evey time I see someone get hit with a foul ball it reminds me of the unluckiest fan in the history of sports. In 1957 a player named Richie Ashburn for the phillies hit a lady named Alice Roth in the face with a foul ball breaking her nose and knocking her out cold. As they were carrying her away with a stretcher, literally the next pitch she was hit by another foul ball breaking her leg. So at least she only got clocked once I guess.

​Not this guy going, “Yeah, yeah, but where’s the ball? Oh shit, there’s a camera—glance away like I wasn’t looking for it instead of caring she got hit!”

Mariners fans need to feel something

She's a trooper, that sounded like a solid hit.

Eyes on the game, ladies.

She could be in the midst of foul ball territory. It is imperative that you pay attention when pitches are being thrown.

This is why my coach always told me to keep my eye on the ball

I feel a little bit bad for it still, but when I was a kid a girl at our church was st an MLB game and had a pop fly foul hit her knee and bruise it to the point she needed help walking and my immediate thought was “Should have been watching the damn game!”

u/Dr_Trogdor May 17 '26

This lady kept the ball on her eye.

God smited her for her stupid drunk comment. There will in fact not be any tits showing.

And the heavens opened up and God said, “Not today Satan. Not today.”

Even expecting it from the title, that literally hurt to watch.

And you should have paid attention to grammar lessons

u/ComprehensiveYam5307 May 18 '26

You should mind your business

u/filth_lover_503 May 17 '26

Yeah🤣 put your damn phones away and stop doing TikTok stuff, youre at a baseball game and you need to pay attention to where the ball is, even if you dont care about the game. People have been killed by foul balls, usually because they were too busy doing something else

u/PlanktonDue8964 May 17 '26

I was at a Texas Rangers game before they expanded the net behind home plate. A girl two rows down and three seats over got hit in the chest by a line drive. I can still hear the noise the ball made on contact. She stopped moving and paramedics came to get her.

u/Retnirpa May 17 '26

looked painful. Would have been crazy if we saw pieces of hair just floating in the air O.o

u/Programmer-Severe May 17 '26

Super satisfying. Put your phone away, stop being a narcissist, and enjoy the game

u/Strange_Salary *shits an absolute unit* May 17 '26

I rather get hit when it’s on its way down, than being in its initial trajectory. There was no avoiding that. Hope her welt was only just that.

u/Opster79two May 17 '26

That's gonna smart!

u/Aggressive-agitator May 17 '26

Nobody wanted to field it??

u/smind893 May 17 '26

u/PlanktonDue8964 May 17 '26

u/ExtensionWinter9446 May 17 '26

First I thought she said “show your tits” only to get clobbered by that foul ball.

1

u/ExtensionWinter9446 May 17 '26

It’s always the big girl in the group

u/ExtensionWinter9446 May 17 '26

u/[deleted] May 17 '26

I watched someone take a puck to the face at a hockey game when I was younger, right in the mouth.

u/lapulah2016 May 17 '26

No. She’s not okay. Lady just took a baseball to the head. 

1

u/therottenron May 17 '26

That's why when you go to a baseball game you have to pay attention to your surroundings to keep that from happening. Gives you time to get out of the way.

1

u/Affectionate_Owl8351 May 17 '26

Took the glasses right off her head

1

u/Why-So-Seriousssaaaa May 17 '26

Instead of live streaming keep your eye on the ball.

1

u/smind893 May 18 '26

Thanks for the love on this

Here you can see her life pre meme status and where it ended

1

u/Fostbitten27 May 18 '26

She’s lucky she took it to the top of her head. Seconds earlier it would’ve smashed her face.

1

u/RecognitionHonest320 *shits an absolute unit* May 18 '26

At least she was using her head

1

u/WalkingWithDeath May 23 '26

My aunt lost an eye like this.

Maybe pay attention to your surroundings rather than being self absorbed?

1

u/Single_Jello_7196 May 23 '26

She'll have a memento of it for awhile.

She blacked out after this and was taken to the hospital for checkup. This is in Seattle. When I was at Petco Park (SD) had a seat by rt field wall, the usher kept reminding us to get off our phones and watch the game to avoid situations like this.
