I have gone to work knowing I could give a kid brain damage if the parent was negligent. While I am grateful it never happened and I would have felt bad for the kid... I, for one, wouldn't have been "scarred for life" over it as it was something completely out of my control.

Has a ballplayer stated they were scarred for life because someone got brained by a foul ball or is this editorialized?

Doesn't come up with him saying anything of that nature. I did read how some players called for added netting but nothing about "scarred for life". Again though... they are calling for the babyproofing of a stadium to cater to the dumbest common denominator.

I'm not adamantly against the additional netting. I'll never sit behind the dugout again but that aside it won't change whether or not I watch the game. I'm simply wondering why there is zero accountability for those who get hit. They sue, team settles. Never mind that the majority of these injures could be avoided by simply being aware of the game you paid to go watch.

Pay attention and you/your crotchfruit likely doesn't get a baseball to the dome.
