Update (9:21 PM EST): Per WBZ-TV’s David Wade, police say that the injured fan has sustained life-threatening injuries.

* Facing Red Sox starter Wade Miley, Athletics third baseman Brett Lawrie broke his bat. A shard flew into the stands, striking a fan in the third base boxes. Gordon Edes of ESPN Boston wrote that the fan was “bleeding pretty profusely”. The game was halted for a few minutes as the fan was taken off via a stretcher.

Hit her in the face and she has life-threatening injuries. That's horrific.

Time for the pros to follow the rest of the organized baseball divisions and use aluminum bats.

Which is true but we've seen others sue for being hit with balls

2013 fan hit by foul ball, court ruled in the fans favor

That's the only case in like years that was successful (and it's an Idaho...minor leagues). The Braves' suit is still up the air

Shitty situation regardless, though

Precedent has been set and if "life threatening" is the case then the team probably makes an offer before it ends up in court.
