Yeah he got extremely lucky. From what some of my friends who saw it said, the way he landed more feet first and the fact he landed on fans and not on the seats or the concrete stairs probably saved his life.
My grandpa got in the face by a foul ball back in 91 - he got free season tickets, as well as passes to 2 of the series games. I can't imagine how good this guy is gonna get hooked up!
I think it was @ me Twiz. And I was referring to the MLB, not the poster of the link.
