Anyone ever get shot at a baseball game before?

I recall an article about a 1910's game in the PCL with a discharged firearm being posted somewhere (maybe here, I think it was more of a celebratory discharge than an intent to harm) but I can't find it looking for it.

Must be an interesting story here of what actually happened; the sports leagues are pretty stringent with the entrance protocols to prevent even legal and responsible carry. I'm not sure how one could get one through the gates.

Not to derail the thread, but it reminded me of a guy I played softball with a bunch of years ago:

He laced a hit and was flying around the bases when he suddenly tumbled into the dirt while rounding second and screamed, "I've been shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Completely and utterly startled, everyone (both teams, girlfriends in the stands, bystanders and umps alike) hit the deck to get out of the line of fire as we searched the surrounding areas for the 'grassy knoll.' We crawled out to 'save' him, but when we got there there was no blood, no holes, nothing. Turns out that he very badly blew out his hamstring (ending up on crutches for a long time), and there was no gunshot. He later said that it popped so loudly and 'hit' him that he absolutely believed he had been gunned down "by one of my enemies."

Talk about a SMH moment!!!

Love it

Great scene from an entertaining movie.

And that movie would never be made today.

I used to ride the subway to Mets and, to a far lesser extent, Yankees games. Did that more recently and, regrettably, I think you could pretty easily find a way to get shot on one of trains going home after a night game. It doesn't count as being shot at the game itself, but perhaps close enough for horseshoes and hand grenades.
