I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often, especially because there seem to be so many hard-hit foul balls that fly into teams' dugouts.
In the eighth inning of last night's Giants game against the Rockies, Dexter Fowler was batting and hit a screaming line drive foul ball into his dugout, hitting Troy Tulowitzki in his left leg. You can see in the video that Tulowitzki was obviously in pain after being hit. He did end up getting an AB in (resulting in an infield single) but he left the game right after he reached first base.
Hopefully Tulowitzki isn't seriously injured, not just because he's on my fantasy team (fingers crossed!), but mainly because you hate to see anyone get hurt, especially on such a fluky play like the one last night.
Giants' pitchers won't be too bummed if he misses the rest of this series, though.
