In 1957 baseball fan Alice Roth was struck twice by foul balls during a game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Giants. Richie Ashburn, a hall of fame player, hit her in the face, breaking her nose, and then he hit her again while she was being carried out on a stretcher, breaking her knee. Ashburn and Roth became long-time friends after the event.
