Trivia you should know without looking it up
 
Name the hall of famer who hit the same fan twice with 2 foul balls in the same game.

Extra credit - Name the fan

Ultimate credit - Which bones were broken?

Richard Ashburn. I think he got her the second time as she was being carried out after being clobbered the first time. He must've hated her...

Isn't there another Richie Ashburn story when he was on the 1962 Mets he was told to yell out "Yo la tengo!" so that he wouldn't collide with a Spanish speaking teammate on a pop up flyball but when he did he collided with another Met who had no idea what Ashburn was yelling?

Ashburn is correct.

Name the fan and the bones are still in play.

Alice Roth.

I knew it was Ashburn. I always thought that was very funny. I mean, what are the chances.

Ashburn would also intentionally foul balls into the crowd in the area where he had family seated.

Well, Alice Roth is correct, but she break any bones?

Her nose, I think.

Ticket from the game...

She was actually the wife of a sports writer. She took her sons to the game. Ashburn knew her husband and visited her in the hospital. For years when I would watch the Phillies Harry Kalas would ask Ashburn if he knew the woman he hit and he would tell the story again.
