Saw this live. Hit a line drive foul into the 3rd base side seats. Nailed his mom in the head. He immediately sprinted out of the batters box to her attention. Fortunately, she's ok. What are the odds?

I'll skip the obvious "Dumb and Dumber" reference because in addition to being scary, that is about as weird as it gets.

I read in the chest, the 1B coach said it sounded bad and that everyone's fear was that she was hit in the head but turns out she wasn't.
