So I got hit by a foul ball today...

[KevinJ14]

...and I'm an employee. I guess that's why I'm working in the stands as an Usher, rather than on the field somewhere in the minors.

Were you posting on AW when you got hit?

[UndertheHalo]

Appears you didn’t die. 

Nice work.

Was it on the budweiser pavilion during BP? If so, I'd bet it was Ohtani. Suppose that wouldn't be a foul ball, but the act of hitting a dedicated employee is a foul act, so I stand by whatever it is I'm saying.

Apparently there needs to be more netting installed.

Thanks Dipoto.

He wasn't impressed by my 20 Glove

Why didn't you just catch it in your straw hat?

slacker.

[Amazing Larry]

Did you wave your hat to let the staff know you were ok?

[tomsred]

I don’t know how much to feel sorry for you.  What was the exit velocity, and launch angle?

[KevinJ14]

I couldnt catch the replay on the rebroadcast. It was during the 6th inning. It was a liner though, I'm sure. I was just doing my job and while I was coming up the stairs, fans just yelled, "Heads Up!" Turned around and the ball was already at me. Got me good on the left wrist.

See you after the ASB

did you get to keep the ball? or did some 35 year old shove you to the ground and take it from you?

[KevinJ14]

I didn't care for the ball, honestly. I got one before the game and gave it away.

I was in pain though. Couldn't feel my wrist for 10 minutes

I heard people "oohing" in the 6th inning. Must have been that play.

Pretty funny you brought that up. A guest pulled me aside and said to "play the lottery"

Nah...but seriously it is a good story as long as your alright..

Who was the batter?

How long have u been an usher and is that the first time you've been hit?

Thanks, and I'm not 100% sure. Wasn't able to pay much attention to the game at that time

Wish the rebroadcast showed it so I know who hit it

- Mike Trout  (1)

- Josh Fields  (1)

- Mallex Smith  (1)

The 35 year-old bat boy was there?

The 35-year-old bat boy has to be at least 50 by now.

We have been referring to him as the 45 year-old bat boy.   But needed to keep it in concert with the previous post.
