Did they make him finish his at-bat?
Spring or regular game...I know I couldn't finish my at-bat.
Can't imagine doing that. Wait your whole life for an at-bat in the majors and you bean your Mom.
Well, at least he got that out of the way. Can't imagine that happening again.

Nole, game was stopped for about 5 mins she was able to walk out on her own. He finished his at bat and struck out.

Thanks. Yes, she's sittin' real good for a nice Mom's day gift!
"Whatever you want Mom!!!"
If she got hit in the face, it either means she wasn't paying attention to her own sons at bat or she has horrible reflexes... :shrug:
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) ? Denard Span's mother settled into her box seat, surrounded by 20 family members and friends, to watch her son lead off for the Minnesota Twins.
Uh oh. Look out!
In a shocking split-second, Span hit a hard foul ball that struck his mom in the upper chest Wednesday. She was treated by paramedics and back in the stands minutes later.
"Tell everyone that I'm all right," Wanda Wilson told The Associated Press hours later by telephone. "Everyone was so worried, he was so worried. But I'm all right."
"We had just gotten there. It happened so fast, you couldn't do anything," she said. "I was kind of in awe. But God is good, I'm OK."
She was lucky!

Seats are very close to the field & she was sitting right by the dugout.
Surprise this doesnt happen more often. Had my son & nephew at a AA game last year, as we were leaving they hopped into a couple of seats over the 3rd base dugout. In a matter of seconds a linedrive hit the seat right next to them, very scary,little time to react.
