Rogers Centre 'B' Stings Blue Jays Fan

Paul Steinbach Headshot

A fan attending a Toronto Blue Jays game Monday suffered only soreness in his shoulder after being hit by a letter "B" dislodged from the Rogers Centre Ring of Honor by a foul ball. The two-foot-tall white letter fell 30 feet from Jackie Robinson's name affixed to the stadium's third deck, hit the fan and tumbled down the seating aisle, where it was retrieved by another fan and then stadium security.

Batted bats entering seating areas in MLB parks is something fans have come to expect. In fact, the same night at Chase Field in Phoenix, a two-year-old girl attending an Arizona Diamondbacks game was hit in the head by a foul ball and a 13-year-old boy was hit in the head by a bat. The incidents happened within 10 minutes of each other.
