Maybe today could be Jim Rice's day

[Gantry]

Never heard this story:

August 8, 1982. A line drive foul ball hits a four year old boy in the head at Fenway. Jim Rice, realizing in a flash that it would take EMTs too long to arrive and cut through the crowd, sprang from the dugout and scooped up the boy. He laid the boy gently on the dugout floor, where the Red Sox medical team began to treat him. When the boy arrived at the hospital 30 minutes later, doctors said, without a doubt that Jim's prompt actions saved the boy's life. Jim returned to the game in a blood-stained uniform. A real badge of courage. After visiting the boy in the hospital, and realizing the family was of modest means, he stopped by the business office and instructed that the bill be sent to him.

If the Red Sox organization didn't pay that bill themselves, they should be embarrassed

Jim Rice is a hero!  You know it's only been in recent years that ballparks have done a better job of protecting the fans.  I vividly recall watching a Cub game in the 80s where a lady was talking and looking the other way and a line drive dropped her like a ton of bricks, she was on the first base side.
