Where the most dangerous foul balls land

Post by Happy as hell » Mon Jul 15, 2019 10:58 pm

Interesting analysis but no surprises. The most dangerous places are down the lines where someone can get hit by a 100+ mph line drive foul with little time to react. Several children including an infant have been injured in these zones. T-Mobile is a foul heavy park.

What to do? Ideas? Nothing? One thing comes to mind—parents should be warned not to take small children and infants into the most dangerous areas.

Another couple of dangerous spots would be to sit right behind Beckham or Santana. :)

A lot of the nastiest liners are in the 200 foot range that are either hooked or sprayed into the stands. Figure the ball takes 1.5 seconds to go 200 feet.
That's easily enough time for even a clueless, effeminately raised, halfwit Liberal to rise to the occasion and defend himself and his family from harm instead of sheepishly sitting in catatonic fear with his weak and trembling pipe cleaner arms hanging uselessly at his sides.
