Stray Ball
Baseball is sometimes described as a game of inches, and Sophia Minnaert discovered this firsthand in 2013. After all, if Minnaert, a Fox Sports sideline reporter, had stood just a few inches to one side, she would not have been frightened by a stray baseball. The event occurred immediately before the Pirates’ 5-2 victory over the Brewers in the top of the third inning. Minnaert was ready to announce the results of the broadcast’s Twitter poll when a wayward ball struck her right palm, sending her microphone flying and leaving her speechless! Minnaert, being the pro that she is, immediately retrieved her microphone and even finished the section!
