1. from a player point of view

   I am a minor league player at the AAA level. I have seen multiple balls go into the seats and I have seen multiple people get hit by foul balls. In fact on opening night (yesterday) a lady got hit in the face by a foul ball and she was on the upper deck behind home plate. The ball went over the backstop net and hit her. What I am getting at is basically what everybody else is saying. When you go to a game, no matter where you sit, you need to pay attention. The one thing I do think needs to be encouraged is an age limit of people allowed to sit right behind the dugout. Families that bring their young kids and sit right behind the dugout are just asking for trouble. The balls and bats go into the stands at an incredible rate and most people cant react fast enough. Just pay attention! Also I agree with the fact that we are quick to blame others. It is definitely not getting us anywhere. It is a freak thing that happened, unfortunately. As we say on the field "hang with em."
