If you read this column regularly you know that I am a big baseball fan. I go to a lot of games. This year alone I've attended 30 Detroit Tigers games in addition to another eight minor league games. In my lifetime I've gone to hundreds of ballgames.
And I'm going to confess something to you: I don't like to sit close to home plate, especially not in the area right behind the dugout. Why? Because I'm terrified of the sort of rocket line-drive foul ball that last night struck a two-year-old in Yankee Stadium. It sounds like she is going to be OK in the long run, although everyone is being somewhat cryptic with the information they're releasing.
