He (and apparently a lot of the players) want the netting to extend all along the baselines. I wouldn't want to watch a game behind netting but, instead, would depend on my cat-like reflexes to protect me from injury. Alternatively I could sit in the upper bleachers.
Should have left the eye at home.
Safety glasses for all fans?
He’s a die-hard Cubs fan, but had no idea that he could be hit by a foul ball at a baseball park? Yeah. Right.
I think there is something with the ticket, that you agree to accept the risk of being hit (by a ball or a bat), at the MLB games. But would appreciate details if anyone knows about this.
What lawyers call “assumption of risk.”
He’ll keep an eye out for the next foul ball.
My ex-GF and I almost got hit by a flying bat once this player swung and he didn’t have the proper grip. It happens. The bat just banged against the seat in front of us and I had to shield my then ex-GF. AAA team for the Angels. And that “clumsy” player was Mike Trout.
Motorcycle helmets
Alright, someone post the Evan Langoria bare hand foul ball save
“Motorcycle helmets”
Or the organist in the movie “Slap Shot” who wore a hockey helmet after getting hit in the head by an errant puck.
If you are seated along the baselines with no screen, watching every pitch is a good idea.
This was the subject of the first case I studied in Torts class as a first-year law student. It’s called assumption of risk.

As far as I know
“He’ll keep an eye out for the next foul ball.”
Very funny.
Looked into it. Might be viral marketing.
“Gillette spokesperson Norton addressing questions about the video were a cryptic refusal to claim the video was real or admit it was fake, which is very much in the spirit of viral marketing campaigns:
” ‘The video was filmed while on location for a Gillette Fusion ProGlide commercial... We’ll leave the “is it real?” debate up to the viewers.’
“So as I said, primarily circumstantial evidence along with a fairly solid theory on the frames surrounding the catch being doctored, as the Gillette logos in the park were.”
