The very first one where the batter is so distraught is because he saw his foul hit a little girl. She was very seriously injured and hospitalized from it and he took far more responsibility for it than he should have allowed himself to take. The MLB extended the netting because of the incident.
alotta fans complained about that, including myself. We got why they were going up, but we were worried about not seeing the game that much......
.... but once I saw those nets in person, I'm not bothered by it at all. Once your invested in the game, you won't notice the netting all that much.
Ummm it's 100% his fault and he deserves all the blame, you gonna blame the girl?
@@jho7659 It was a freak accident - not "100% his fault". Why are you so pressed?
@@jho7659 He was just playing the game the way it's supposed to be played. The danger present to the fans is the responsibility of the MLB and stadium guardians.
@@jho7659 You’re totally right, he aimed that ball right at that little girl. He’d never seen her before, but for sure that father of two had it out for a random two year old during an away baseball game. 🙄 GTFOH
Years ago, I took a couple of friends from New Zealand to a MLB game back when they were visiting the States. After a particularly savage line drive smashed into the crowd not far from where we were sitting (fortunately nobody was hurt), I pointed out that that is why you always keep your eyes on the action at all times when the game is ongoing even though the atmosphere is a bit like a picnic. I also pointed out how it was printed on our ticket that the stadium/club took no liability for injury from foul balls or bats thrown into the stands.
They asked me what I would do if a line drive came at us like the one before and I just smiled and said I'd be trying to cower behind the seats and curling my body up and covering my head and neck with my arms. At first I think they thought I was joking but I was dead serious. Without a glove, and knowing I'm not terribly athletic to the point I didn't trust myself to barehand a line drive, I'm curling up in a ball (like the emergency positions during a plane crash), getting as low as I can, and trying to put something between myself and the 100+mph nearly rock hard object flying in my direction.
In recent years they have added much more protective netting at all the ballparks.
I highly recommend watching a compilation of MLB coach ejections. It’s quite a spectacle
And much more fun to watch than ppl getting wrekt by foul balls
I tipped a ball off my glove playing 3rd base in high school, even slowing it down a little it knocked out my front 15 teeth. As well as shattering my lower jaw and having an 8 hour surgery. plus 47 stitches in my lips
There are now nets stretching from home plate to the outfield foul poles. I was mad they did it at first, but looking back I can't believe it took so long to do it. The tickets do say something about bats and ball leaving the field to protect the teams/MLB from lawsuits.
yeah, mlb passed a rule that all facilities need extended netting and extra protection for spectators (fans). they still have the rule that stadium owners have limited liability to the spectators, it is assumed that you take on the risk of attending the game, and it is up to the stadium owner(s) to decide if they wish to compensate for any damages or injuries, most of them do.
When fans attend a ball game they must pay attention. Too many people are on cell phones or just being ignorant of their surroundings. The one ball that did go through the hole in the screen was unfortunate and something like that is rare. When I attend a game I bring my glove just in case even though my reaction times are slow.
There's a story from the 1950's. Richie Ashburn of the Phillies fouls a ball off and it strikes a woman in the stands.. As they are helping her to the medical office in the stadium, Ashburn fouls another ball... and it hit the same woman!
@ 5:20 the fans in cricket aren't anywhere as close to the action as baseball fans are along the foul lines. By the time a cricket ball reaches anyone in the stands, they've had plenty of time to react and the ball has lost a lot of its initial velocity. What's more, the exit velocity off the bat is much higher in baseball. Balls now routinely come off the bat well in excess of 100mph, and if it's a hard-hit line drive behind the first or third baseman, the ball will still have most of that velocity when it enters the stands and fans have roughly one second to react. Or rather, they would have until the MLB finally extended the netting well into the outfield.
They've extended the netting beyond the team dugouts in all ballparks and all the way to the foul pole in some, since 2019.
I got hit by a foul ball once when I was a teenager. Lost sight of it in the lights and luckily spun around just in time for it to hit me in the shoulder blade. Left a lump and a bruise, and I don't bruise easily. Got shown on the big screen, so the rest of the night people recognized me and gave me cheers and said I took one for the team. I couldn't imagine if it had hit me in the face or head.
Similar incidents occur in hockey. The NHL mandated safety nets after the death of Brittanie Cecil in 2002.
11:55 I have a buddy who worked on the Red Sox grounds crew at Fenway Park. What happened here is the bat broke and the barrel flew into the stands where the sharp end of the wood where it broke basically scalped a woman right down the middle of the top of her head. He said it was a nasty scene.
For over 25 years my friend and her husband had the 4 box seats directly behind home plate (2 seats in the very first row, 2 seats in the second row) at Shea Stadium in New York. That is the area that's always had screening to protect the fans. I went to maybe 50 games with them and felt very safe with the screening/netting. However, whenever I had tickets for anywhere else in the stadium, no matter how far away from the field, I was always paranoid the entire game about getting hit with a ball.
#1 thing to bring to a Baseball game is a damn GLOVE! It's really handy if you know how to use it.
They've dramatically improved the netting in ballparks, thankfully.
Netting now goes all the way foul pole to foul pole in a bunch of stadiums and a bit higher too. Mandatory MLB rule now is that it has to cover at least the entire infield down past the bases to the outfield.
Always follow the ball when attending a ball game.
Yes, on every ticket has disclaimer and there is signage to pay attention at all times.
data suggest that in roughly every two or three MLB games, a foul ball causes a serious enough injury that a fan seeks medical attention.
When teams used to issue paper tickets, there would be a disclaimer on the back of the ticket in small print that would indemnify the team in the event that the person in possession of the ticket was struck by a batted ball.
Baseball is a leisurely game that demands lighting speed and reflexes. You guys should watch Ken Burns documentary “Baseball”.You have to pay attention and stay off your phone. 9:32
Majority of the mlb baseball fields have high netting. It took to many critical injuries to finally add them.
There are actually signs around the stadium warning that balls and bats may fly into the stands
First rule of baseball: Keep your eye on the ball
It's just the risk you take when attending games. Thankfully they've improved the netting to further prevent these things. My local town kids league got shut down because foul balls were constantly hitting cars that were parked because people weren't smart enough to not park 5 feet from the fences so that ruined it for all the kids and we never had another baseball league again, just an empty baseball park for over 15 years now all because of other people's stupidity. Saddest part is most of the kids turned to drugs and crime because our town is so small and the education is the absolute worst so they had nothing to look forward to and nothing to amount to in their eyes.
The NHL put nets up around their hockey rinks after a girl got hit with a puck and died. In the 1980s my brother and my friend got hit with pucks in two separate incidents at two different games. They both got hit in the hand. Nothing was broken but the hands were sore for days.
Theirs disclaimers on the ticket also if a bat or ball goes into the crowd the person who now possesses the item owns it.
They now have netting in foul territory to protect fans.
I think almora has a daughter the same age as the girl who got hit so it upset him badly. these things are very rare there have been 25 deaths from 1969 and some 70M will see a ball game every season.
This is why I was always taught to keep watching the play and you don't take babies to the front rows.(That's just stupid). Don't look at your phones, wait between innings.
Like 15 years ago when I was a kid there was a foul boll my dad caught and they came and made him sign a wi,ever, the other option was us all leaving the stadium.
Daz needs to rep the Astros like he used to! He broke my heart with his Giants fandom but I know there’s still a good person in there somewhere who wants to rep Houston.
Not too many balls go over Daz's head 😁
The worst foul to the fans was putting in Robby Ray to blow the game for the Mariners that they should had won yesterday against the Astros
They have radically increases the amount of netting and all of the tickets come with a warning
I have always liked to sit on the 3rd base line near the field, as you get a great view of every thing. However you have to pay attention to the game, several times foul balls have come screaming by me. If your one of those people that is always looking at your phone sit in the upper deck.
I was a pitcher from ages 8 to 16 and some of the line drives back to the mound really make you pay attention and develop reflexes. It’s only 60 feet and that ball comes back quick. I was never hit, thanks to both luck and an extremely fast glove hand.
I used to go to a lot of Yankee and Mets games 30+ years ago and I always brought my glove with me. Only one time did a foul ball come screaming at us and I managed to catch it. Unfortunately I palmed it instead of getting it in the webbing and that hurt like hell. If you’re in the stands at a baseball game, you have got to pay attention whenever someone is at bat. You never know when a ball or even a bat if your seats are good enough, could be screaming towards you.
A 12-year-old girl was killed by a hockey puck. Afterward, the NHL required higher glass barriers.
The netting is a lot like traffic lights, they are not put in/extend until after the fact, and even then it will take many accidents later. There is a major roadway that runs along my neighborhood, and the residential road that intersects with it is at the top of a hill. You cannot see traffic coming up that hill, and the only thing there is a single stop sign. The city will not put in a traffic light until X number of fatal accidents happen within a year. In my 30 years living here, it never reached that quota. It all comes down to money. No company will spend money to overengineer something when "good enough" works, or when there is a major outcry of the public. Should the MLB encase the field in a net for safety/liability? Sure why not. Will they? Never.
It's says on the ticket "pay attention or die"
Nets are now required to go further down each baseline.
Hello my office blokes, the mlb division series just started today, go check out the highlights, and not to mentioned the wild card game as well, a lot of big drama happened in the wild card game last week.
This post season has been wild
Broke my wrist trying to catch a sizzling foul down the third baseline. My fault and I didn’t even get the ball
I can’t remember if it was the 2012 or 2013 ALDS, but during a game in Oakland in one of those series, Austin Jackson fouled one straight back that was coming in too fast for me to catch barehanded at that age (14 or 15). My friend’s dad was walking back to his seat next to us with a beer, and we told him to watch out. He turned his head right into the foul ball, and it hit him so hard in the face that he fell down into his seat. Stadium doctors had to come evaluate him and everything, but he ended up being alright. To this day though, I feel like I should have gotten a hand on it and prevented the whole situation.
I've been at a Braves game and was lucky enough to catch a foul ball. I've been at another game, not paying attention while talking with my fan, and felt the wind and heard the buzzing off a foul ball as it whizzed past, just inches from my head. Scared me so bad.
That first clip I was actually at that game, it was in Houston, and the stadium went dead silent. We all knew something bad had happened but it wasn't until I was watching the news later that I knew how bad. That ball hit a little girl in the head, seriously hurt, report I heard said she actually has brain damage as a result. Extremely sad.
A hockey puck killed a girl a decade or 2 ago. The glass paneling was made taller.
Since 2020 every MLB ballpark has protective netting. This video is from 2018 or 2019.
I mean some of these balls come off the bat at like 100 mph or more, so I mean at the least some of these ppl got concussions at the least.
Disclaimers mean nothing in the US, in fact they actually show the business knew the risk
you can't sue them for getting hit with a ball or bat, it says on your ticket you release all liability for errant balls or bats
2:50 fyi, in 2011. In the 2011 spring training pre-season game. The batter of that game, Brian McCann, accidently hit a foul ball that hits the minor league coach of his team, the Atlanta Braves, and unfortunately, because of that accident, the minor league coach's left eye has become blind because of the accident.
Hockey pucks are moving this fast. Hockey has had the same tragedies.
I played baseball in middle school so probably like 13 years old. This pitcher was very tall and big for his age everyone was scared of him and he drilled me in the face when i was at bat. Its hurt so bad i dont know i didnt cry lol
I took my kids and a couple of their friends to a college game years ago and my son's friend was hit by a foul ball. It's something that you have to be aware of.
A hockey puck is bulletproof unless it’s .50cal
In the same vein best fan catches is good one to react to.
Need to watch a video of fans catching foul balls. Lots of kids take gloves to the games in hopes of catching a ball. I have very mixed feelings on nets.
Crazy idea here, since dave is the one using the keyboard should it be in front of him???
They all use the keyboard to pause the videos, at different times.
There is a disclaimer on the back of the ticket. Something about you're responsible for keeping your eyes on the field
A line drive baseball is traveling more than 100 MPH
Cant believe it didn’t show the one guy that blocked the bat from hitting his kid in the face. Dude stuck his arm out and took the full force which is a no brainer but still that man got a key to the city.
They've added more protective netting but they should add even more to the foul poles. Then the majority of fouls to go into the stands would be pop ups which are way easier to react to than the line drives and way less fast.
I like to go early and watch BP (batting practice). I see people sitting in seats NOT watching, then a ball almost
hits them and they act all shocked! If you're not going to watch BP go sit behind the plate where your safe during BP.
Did someone get on OB Mike about his speech or something, cause it felt like he was spitting his words out into a bucket 12ft away while doing that Patreon read.
You can pay attention that don't mean you will have time to move.
I almost got hit by a ball on my birthday it was coming straight at my face than my mom caught it right before
i love when yall react to sports but these fan injuries or the football big hits are sort of a downer
It doesn't take that long to complete a game. The games last as long sometimes shorter than an NFL, or College Football game
I was at the Braves game where the fan died. He landed about 15 rows behind me. It wasn't a foul ball in that case. He was booing Alex Rodriguez when he slipped and fell over.
The ball can easily leave the bat at more than 100 miles per hour.
I saw a woman get hit in the chest with a baseball & she dropped like she was shot. She didn't move. They took her away in an ambulance. It was a line drive hit left of 3rd base at a semi-pro baseball game. I heard the hit & I was sitting on the opposite side of the field. The crowd went "OOOHHH!" Game stopped until the ambulance left the field. I never learned the extent of her injuries or if she survived that. This is why I opted out of baseball in high school.
If you're gonna take in a baseball game, and you're sitting in certain areas, your attention needs to be on the game, 100%.
After the little girl got smoked in the head down the 3rd base line and sent to the hospital, MLB extended the netting well past where it used to be
Now do "The Greatest Athlete In The World" by Baseball Doesn't Exist pleaseee!!
some of the balls that leave the bats have been recorded to be going 104mph.
Now all stadiums extended their netting to prevent stuff like this happening even though a lot of the fans don't like it
I know you guys think the nets should be widen or whatever.
But as a baseball purist, NO!!! Part of the ballpark experience is literally getting drilled in the face. If you can't handle it then watch on TV
That'd be like them trying to outlaw all the uber passionate fans of soccer when a riot breaks out in a South American stadium
On those line drives the ball is coming off the bat faster
Please watch “Jomboy breaks down fight between the Angels and Mariners MLB”
Who requested "kids getting fcked up"??
Cricket fans are all in the outfield so to speak while in baseball fans are as close to the batter as the pitcher. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out why baseball fans die and cricket fans dont
You should watch the interviews with Almora after the game, he's so shaken. For years, sensible people have wanted netting all the way around, foul pole to foul pole. Unfortunately, like basically every sport in the world, there is strong pushback towards any kind of change from fans who want to keep the game or fan experience "traditional." Baseball is my favorite sport, and love to romanticize about the game as much as those fans... but sometimes you got to have some common sense and realize the change is needed. In addition to the netting, robot umpires need to call balls and strikes.
Poor guy, he felt so terrible. I felt for him, and the little girl of course.
I like pole to foul pole netting, just make it look like Swiss Cheese, with 1 foot holes here and there.
You SHOULD be watching the game, not that babe 2 rows over!
The announcers laughing about it at the 8:36 point are classless.
Watch the effing game.
For goodness' sake, it costs a small fortune to get those seats, and you aren't paying attention?
If baseball isn't exciting enough to watch, go do something else.
I do feel sorry for the kids getting hurt, they aren't really in charge of themselves. But the adults? Not so much.
I've been hit with a baseball before not a good feeling at all
How long does he think baseball takes? It’s not even close to cricket.
I don't know why you guys even watch these videos. You guys did one about batters hit by pitches that was as bad as this. You should do a reaction to batters who were "intentionally" hit by the pitcher. A lot more interesting to watch
OK someone has been watching porn on a bad site... seeing your intro.. lol
Man these women are fragile
Pay attention and stay off your phone.
I worked for a minor league baseball team for 10 seasons and injuries from foul balls and flying bats happen way more than you would think. I used to have to go get information from the people hit or their family and friends. Name, address, insurance etc. There were no SERIOUS injuries or deaths thankfully but there were some scary ones. And to hit on what Dave said, the back of the tickets state for all fans to be aware of foul balls and for bats they may come into the stands. They also announce before and during games to be aware of foul balls etc. Although they say they're not liable for any injuries, the baseball team always covered them anyway. As far as I can remember. That was always my worst fear was getting hit by one while I was walking through the stands. Because you really have to keep your head on a swivel because it happens SO FAST. I had a few come near me over the years but none thankfully hit me.
I made it threw 2 of these, who would watch something like this purposely
