As I sit watching the second pre-season game of the year between the Dodgers and Angels, in Arizona, a game being attended by Julie Hibbard and two of my nieces, Robin and Sherrie who are sitting in the third row behind the Dodger dugout, I've often wondered what the odds are...
I did a quick research and found out that it's totally dependent on where you are sitting...(no kidding) I found that the areas with the highest probability are in the lower deck down the right and left field lines between third base and the foul pole . Maybe 10,000 fans sit in those areas at any particular game, and say 20 foul balls hit each game in those areas would yield a 1 in 500 chance.
THE ODDS: If you went to every home game for a team for five or six years your odds would be about even.
As Julie has experienced , going to the ballpark early before the game starts you have a good chance of catching a ball during batting practice...
