Chicago Cubs: ‘The blow knocked me unconscious.’

A Chicago Cubs fan, Laiah Zuniga, was excited she and a friend was so close to the action. She was just a few rows back, living the good life. Then it wasn’t. A foul ball struck by a New York Mets player hit her face, according to the team and Major League Baseball.

It was not good. The blow knocked her unconscious. She suffered spider fractures under the eyes. She has frequent bloody noses, and her taste and smell have been permanently affected. And her teeth were detached from their nerves, losing teeth until this day.
