The ground rules at Fenway clearly state that if the ball is hit by the home team and the fan doesn't need to go to the hospital it's a fair ball. It's part of the home field advantage.
Yes, his face was in foul territory when the ball hit him, but his teeth landed in fair territory, so the call should be: fuck the ambulance, give that man the ball!
Nobody’s to concerned about the guy hit in the face. Only concern is if the ball is fair or foul. Typical Boston. The fan is lucky that he wasn’t hit by a slice of pizza. Welcome to Fenway Park.
I've seen worse at a Phillies game. One guy was yakking it up with buddy, and caught a foul ball on a clothesline directly to the chin. He had to be carried out.
Firstly: why is no one bothered if the guy is injured? Second: why not have a yard exclusion zone, so that by the time a fan can grab it, it’s already out of play so this is not a worry?
Dude, you are thinking too logically. It doesn't matter that you are correct, the baseball players and umpires lack the intelligence necessary to understand your logic.
poor guy didn't even reach, just tried to get away. Sometimes wonder what the hell these announcer idiots are looking at. How can't he see from the one angle that this guy clearly tried to protect his face. He was leaning backwards when it hit him.
Ha, you're an idiot man, the kid was clearly reaching out to catch the ball..? Obviously uncoordinated as fuck, misjudging the area of where it was coming down.. He fell back as it hit him. Jerry had a good point on if he interfered or not. It's obviously easy to tell he didn't but the guy is like 70 years old.
@grayson it's pretty funny when a kid with your profile pic calls me an idiot. Lol. You're just a little boy, so I guess I have to consider the source.
JediFight A picture of me skating? Yeah, funny. I'm 23 buddy. Although it only takes a 10 year old kid to realize he was trying to catch the ball. Also only takes a 10 year old kid to spell a name correct that's right in front of you.. But whatever, just pointing out the obvious. Not going to continue being a douch.
Usually other people are nice enough to yell "Heads up!" when a ball gets sent towards the stands. This is good because not everybody can see which way the ball flew.
