latest update; 110 personalized Topps baseball cards in the mail for 40-year-old McGuire

Liz McGuire was conversing to a friend while sitting on the third base line at a Blue Jays game in Toronto on Friday night when she was struck in the head by a foul ball that was traveling at 110 miles per hour, leaving a big bump above her right eye.

The 40-year-old McGuire was not allowed to keep the ball that struck her, but she has since received 110 personalized Topps baseball cards in the mail that feature an image of her swollen forehead.

The Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette fouled off a pitch while he was up to bat in the game on Friday night between Toronto and the Tampa Bay Rays. McGuire and her companion were seated behind the third base line when the ball was blasted over the safety netting in the lower bowl of Rogers Center.

McGuire said that she didn’t notice the ball flying at her when she momentarily looked away from the field to speak with her buddy.

“It just hit me, after I heard someone scream,” the woman recalled.

In an email on Tuesday, the Blue Jays stated that McGuire made the decision to go back to her seat and watch the remainder of the game after being treated to right away by stadium medical personnel.

She continued, saying that she frequently watches games, “I know you have to be careful with foul lines and I know better.” “But it struck me at a speed of 110 miles per hour right away.”

McGuire claimed that Topps, the trading card maker, contacted her and requested permission to use one of the photos on a custom card after she shared pictures of her swollen face and the black eye that resulted on social media.
