The odds of getting hit in the head by a foul ball while you’re behind a protective screen have to lie somewhere between getting struck by lightning twice and having a threesome with Charlotte McKinney and Kate Upton.
But according to ESPN, that’s exactly what happened to a poor woman in the top of the second inning of last night’s Cubs-Pirates game at PNC Park.
The game was delayed for more than 20 minutes while medical personnel tended to what has to be the unluckiest fan in recent baseball history. Thankfully, she was conscious as she was carried off on a stretcher, and her friend next to her even gave the crowd a thumbs up as they left the ballpark.
Perhaps even more astonishing than a female fan taking a foul ball to her dome despite the fact that she was behind a protective screen? You guessed it: The Cubs actually won the game 5-2.
Update: This morning, the Pirates announced that the fan was released from the hospital after undergoing tests.
