Do you have a penis or a vagina? :rolleyes:

Just googled rates in the worst ballpark for foul balls:

" And it happens regularly — at Fenway, a spectator is hurt by a stray ball or bat once every three or four games, according to figures from a 2000 lawsuit against the Red Sox."

I have no problem with more nets. I wouldn't take my kid to a game in foul ball territory. Of course she's only 6 months old.

A poll for a pole of course of course

Wow. That is way more than I was assuming it would be.

I was born January of 80... first game was the home opener in April that year. 3 months and 2 days old.

Yeah, same here. From that same article I think:

So during the regular season, there around 10 fan injuries per day around the MLB. That's kind of astounding. Obviously many of those injuries are probably minor like jammed fingers or whatever, but still.

That is BULLSHIT and a made up statistic from a lawyer.

Don't be so naive. :facepalm:

YOU STUPID ****S DON'T REALIZE THAT PEOPLE WHO CHASE FOUL BALLS AND FALL OR FIGHT EACH OTHER FOR A FOUL BALL OR FALL OVER THE RAILING ARE ADDED INTO THE STATS!!!

WAKE THE **** UP! GETTING "HIT" WITH A FOUL BALL IS INSIGNIFICANT!!!

GOD WE HAVE IDIOTS ON HERE!

And what move might a team make that would reduce the number of people getting injured while chasing after a foul ball?

Maybe it will keep their drunk fans from running out on the field and attacking Royals coaches.

Let's just ban EVERYTHING that ANYONE has EVERY gotten HURT by including SWIMMING in the OCEAN, where two people just got bit by a shark in North Carolina.

It's a stupid argument.

People do STUPID things. Can't fix that and I don't think 100,000,000 visitors to baseball should suffer because a few people aren't paying attention or acting like assholes.

And to be honest, why are parents bringing 2-4 years old kids to a professional baseball game? That's irresponsible parents.

Maybe those parents should be suspended from their jobs pending an investigation. :hmmm:

And why is it irresponsible?

LMAO Scho got triggered real quick.

The ballparks are doing everything in their power to ensure the safety of the crowd, which should be the goal for any establishment over all else. I'm not sure how intensely you're watching the game, but there are a whole lot of people who go to these games who couldn't care less about what's actually going on in the game. It's more like just a night out for them. Those are the people who are being catered to in this event, as well as small children and elderly people. And if your solution is "don't go if you don't watch the game", then good luck selling that one, because these ballparks couldn't care less about how interested/disinterested people are in the game, they just want money.

Yes I am.....all this over reaction and crazy shit to try and make a PERFECT world will never happen.

Why don't they just put plexiglass up around the ENTIRE stadium and no ball will EVER leave the field of play. :harumph:

I guess I've become that grumpy old guy that everybody throws popcorn at and laughs while pointing as I keep score old school. :D
