Roster First major league foul ball injury death On May 16, the Dodgers were playing a home game against the
Giants when, during the third inning, Mota fouled off a
Gaylord Perry pitch into the stands near first base. It struck Alan Fish, 14, attending the game with other boys from his nearby recreational baseball team and their coach. Fish was unconscious for a minute, and spoke incoherently when he reawakened and, while his speech had recovered, needed assistance walking to the Dodger Stadium's first-aid center. There, he seemed to have recovered completely. The stadium doctor did not ask whether he had lost consciousness or check his
blood pressure, and released him after giving him two aspirin for the lingering pain. He returned to his seat and watched the rest of the game normally, even trying to get autographs from the Dodgers afterwards. However, on his return home he began experiencing dizziness, shaking and crying, and his parents decided to take him to a hospital. == Game log ==
