On August 17, 1957, Alice Roth experiences what surely is one of the worst days any spectator has had at a Major League Baseball game. After being struck by a foul ball off the bat of future Hall of Famer Richie Ashburn, Roth is being treated for a broken nose when the Philadelphia Phillies' star fouls off the very next pitch, hitting her in the leg and breaking it. The incredibly unlikely incident is unique in baseball history.

Neat stuff.

Tip pf the cap!

Sheesh, I think Alice needed to see a doctor about her brittle bones. A broken nose from a baseball, I can see, but a broken leg seem a bit crazy.

Ow!
