That's a little scary. My wife and I attended a game at Fenway several years ago. We were seated about 8 rows behind the Red Sox dugout, at the end nearer to home plate. A line drive foul ball struck a woman in the shoulder one row in front of us; it bounced off her, missed my wife's nose by 2 inches and struck the man seated next to her in the head, breaking his glasses. That was a shaky moment.

I think it's only going to take one lawsuit before all the MLB teams extend the netting all the way down the right and left field lines, as (I think) is done in Japan.
