You’re not as protected as you might think when sitting in the stands of a major sporting event. Generally, there’s sufficient distance between you and whatever’s going on to prevent any major incidents — but still, as we’ve learned, there’s always a chance that something can go awry and you can end up with a black eye or worse.

In this case, a man was hit with a foul ball, and he quickly had to say goodbye to his $10+ beverage. Hopefully the team bought him another!
