A Blue Jays supporter, struck by a foul from Bo Bichette, expresses disappointment at…
Bo Bichette, the shortstop for the Toronto Blue Jays, tore a foul ball into the stands on Sunday. Sadly, Liz McGuire, who was born in Ottawa, was struck in the face by the misplaced spherical, resulting in a black eye that eventually turned into a welt.
McGuire managed to stay afloat long enough to witness the Jays defeat the Rays 5-2 despite his injuries. McGuire went to X following the game to inquire about the possibility of receiving reimbursement from the team for the losses she had suffered. McGuire said on social media following the game that she “didn’t even get the ball” that had struck her.
Hello, @BlueJays Bo Bichette hit a 110 mph foul ball that struck my face. Not only did I not get the ball. I remained all the way through the game. Can you hook a female up in any way? Blue Jays: “#tothecore” – Liz McGuire McGuire claims that she was unable to catch the ball that struck her at a speed of 110 mph as it was hit by the shortstop for the Toronto Blue Jays. The team has not yet released an official statement, despite the fact that the post has received over seven million views.
MLB made the decision to add more mesh to the playing field’s perimeter before to the 2020 season. The ruling was made in the midst of other cases, some of which had even worse outcomes than McGuire’s.
One of the main reasons for the adjustment was the tragedy of Linda Goldbloom, who was murdered by a foul ball during a San Diego Padres game in 2018.The Jays are still last in the AL East after their victory over the Rays on Sunday. As the team prepares for a midweek series against the White Sox, they are at 20–25 and 11.5 games behind the New York Yankees.
Liz McGuire, a Toronto Blue Jays fan, brings up serious issues about fan safety. Even though there have been a lot of recent efforts to try to make MLB games safer for the spectators, it seems hard to completely eliminate the risk.Given the number of deaths caused by misdirected balls throughout the years, McGuire’s case is probably going to come under closer examination.
McGuire sent out a tweet saying: “It happened so quickly! I only glanced away momentarily! Anyone might experience it!” Even though it was a very improbable occurrence, McGuire is probably relieved that she only had a humorous anecdote to tell—rather than a more serious injury.
