Late last week, Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier had plans on spending his All-Star break at a lake house with his wife. Those plans changed when Dozier was picked to replace the Toronto Blue Jays' Jose Bautista on the American League roster.
A woman at the Pirates/Cubs game Monday took a foul ball to the head.
She was standing behind home plate with her back turned, and the ball hit the safety netting. (Which is what the netting's there for, right?) Unfortunately, the net stretched enough that the ball hit her at almost full speed before it bounced off.
The Minnesota Twins are down a starting pitcher as Opening Day approaches, after it was announced that Ervin Santana had been suspended 80 games for PED use.
