PHILADELPHIA– When Major League Baseball has raised netting to protect fans from foul balls this season, no one anticipated a flying hot dog being a culprit of an injury.
That’s just what happened during the Philadelphia Phillies’ game on Monday night, when fan Kathy McVay was struck by a hot dog the Phillies’ mascot, the Phillie Phanatic, launched into the crowd.
According to FOX29 Philly, McVay was sitting near home plate when she said that all of a sudden a hot dog wrapped in duct tape struck her in the face.
Struggling from a shoulder injury at the time, McVay said that she was unable to protect her face from the projectile.
ABC 6 News in Philadelphia got this picture of McVay’s injury:
According to multiple reports, the team has reached out to McVay and apologized while also offering tickets to an upcoming game.
