Completely off topic......
My middle daughter was at an Astros game a couple of weeks ago at Minute Maid Park (box seats along the 3rd base line).....and late in the game she took a line shot off of her ponytail. She was not paying attention and talking to a girlfriend.
I started taking them to ball games when they were little....always told them to pay attention during live action.....if that ball were hit a few inches more towards home plate, I would be minus a daughter.
Her older sister still laughs when her sister tells the story. I have tried to find it on youtube........but MLB won't allow their content on there. Brigid did say that she was surrounded by Astros personell immediately making sure she was ok. She was lucky that she only had her ponytail thrown askew.
When I was in college....UT used to play the AA San Antonio Dodgers every year in an exhibition. Aluminum bats had become the norm in college and any hit off the end of a college bat just died......thud
Completely different off the end of a wood bat.....I was 3-5 rows up on the first base side and a line shot off of one of the SAD bats was coming straight at me. I juked into the lap of the young lady to my left. The ball hit the knee cap of the woman behind me and I swear it went at least 50' in the air. She sadly left before the end of the game.
If I would not been paying attention.....I would have gotten drilled in the chest or higher.
