Today, I was at a baseball game. I was eating my nachos when all of the sudden I woke up in the hospital, with my dad sitting next to the bed. Apparently, I was hit with a foul ball. He kept the ball for himself. FML

Today, I was in the cafeteria at a table near the guy I like. He was playing around with a ball with a couple of his friends. They dropped it, and it rolled over next to my foot. When I bent down to pick it up, I smashed my head against a chair. FML

Today, I was walking in the street, and the next thing I know, I'm waking up in a hospital. According to witnesses, a guy came up and hit me over the head with a baseball bat. Apparently that's a thing that happens now. But it's okay, he had an excuse: he said he was drunk. FML

Today, I got hit so hard in the head by a dodgeball that a contact popped right out. To make matters worse, I continued to get hit as a futilely searched for it. FML

Today, I went to a baseball game. It was windy, so I decided to get my hat from the car trunk. When I opened it and reached in, loose papers started flying everywhere. Panicked, my dad slammed the trunk shut on my fingers. Entering the stadium, I discovered it was free hat day. FML

Today, my baseball team had a game and one of our best players was injured sliding into first. I'm pretty fast so when the coach called my name I grabbed a helmet assuming it was finally my chance to get in the game. Turns out he just wanted me to get ice. The entire team couldn't stop laughing. FML

Today, I had a crucial volleyball playoff game. My dad came to watch. While in a set, my friend pointed over to the bench where my dad was sitting. I turned to see my dad snoring loudly as a result of him falling asleep. He achieved this with loudly cheering people all around him. FML

Today, I was pitching at a fastpitch softball game. The other team chanted about the ball being too high and almost hitting the batter in the eye. After throwing the next pitch, the ball was savagely returned by the batter, straight into my eyes. FML

Today, I went to the game with my boss and some people he does business with on his tab. I got so drunk that I blacked out, threw up all over the table, and passed out in the bathroom. I woke up alone with my body reeking of vomit, and no phone. FML

Today, I went to an amateur baseball game with some family and friends. When our team hit a home run, my grandpa took it upon himself to start screaming wildly, removing his prosthetic leg and waving it jubilantly in the air. FML

Apparently, you like getting smacked with balls. Why do you want it? I wouldn't want to hold onto balls other people have held and smacked around.

so you were more upset by the fact that your dad was keeping a ball then your living through something that could have killed you. Wow

It's idiots like you who are ruining this site. The small insignificant things at the ends of the stories are meant to add a dash of irony and humor, to be the icing on the cake, but you douchebags have to call everyone out on how it's no big deal, or how "it's nothing compared to whatever else." Lighten the hell up, moron.

You deserve it for saying "All of the sudden."

So.. why should you get the ball? I bet there were people fighting for the ball after you got knocked out and your dad got it.

If you were paying attention to what was going on in the ballgame, you probably wouldn't have gotten hit... YDI.

Fake. These things always end up in the news. The last California fan to be hit with a foul was on Sept. 7th, and it was the forty-something father of a kid with Down's syndrome. Night night.

nobody ever said it was a big game, it could have been minor league or smaller, and so it probably wouldn't get much publicity. but then i guess it wouldn't be a big deal about keeping the ball........... just trying to give the op the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, my sister got hit in the head and knocked out by a foul ball when she was young, but it was never in the news. It was during their warm-up before the game and it was just a minor-league game.

This stuff can happen very easily. I was at a college game back in May and I was nearly nailed in the head by a foul ball.

I agree with #24...It could also have been a HS game or something. Nowhere did it say "At a recently well-known MLB game....." Also, why should *you* get the ball?
