Have you ever been hit in the face with a ball? (Video+Pics)

TA and I were invited to hang out on the 'party deck' of a local baseball stadium recently. I was standing there when all of a sudden there was a loud crack right by head and everyone was staring in my direction. I saw a baseball rolling on the ground not too far away with a couple people scrambling for it. I should have been grabbing for it but it happened so fast I didn't realize what was going on before it was scooped up.

It turns out that the ball had hit a beam that I was standing right next to. The point of impact was about two feet away from my head. I was thinking about how lucky I was to not get nailed in the face by the runaway baseball, when I looked over and saw some commotion and a woman being attended to by some people. It turns out that the fly ball had hit this woman directly in the face and then the ball ricocheted and hit the beam that I was standing near. The baseball had hit near me with such force I cannot imagine how that woman felt.

I snapped a few pics with my iPhone.



You can see the big bag of ice they gave her in her hand.
