(20,776 posts)Watching Baseball is little safer, although I have seen Baseball bats fly into the stands, a tire weighs a tad more, and comes in pretty fast.

(75,480 posts)I nearly got clocked at a Dodger's baseball game once. Fortunately three guys in front of me jumped for it. One got it and another got injured because of it. I refused to go with my husband after that. I don't like spectator sports that much anyway.

(20,776 posts)San Francisco Giants games in my life. Of all of that, three balls came very close to hitting me. One time, I was not paying attention. It was during batting practice before the game. I was walking down the aisle with a cardboard container, holding two large cokes with ice in plastic glasses. Suddenly I was covered in soda. The ball came flying in to the left field bleachers and hit my tray exactly spraying me with soda. It scared the hell out of me, but I was not hurt. I did have to go back and buy two more cokes, which was frustrating because they were expensive!
But You know, it probably wasn't as bad, as being at an LA Kings Hockey game and having a puck hit my buddy on the side of her chin. She was lucky she just got a cut. It could have been a lot worse. Had it been a bit higher, it could have done real damage to her face.
Every time I step into a stadium, and I am on the ground level, I want to make sure I am aware of what's coming and going on.
