Video: Foul Ball Hits N.Y. Yankee Announcer In The Head On Live Radio

John Sterling is in his 80s and has been calling N.Y. Yankee baseball games for decades. You would think he's seen it all but a foul ball in a weekend end game took him by surprise and wound up hitting him in the head - all while he was calling the play. Credit to him that he just kept going. 

He says he's fine, but who knew play-by-play could be so dangerous? Talk about a Bronx bombing.

There's the video of the incident here.

With the number of calls he has botched as of late it's not surprising that he didn't see it coming.

This article is from over a year ago and he has had several major ones since.

Hazel Mae got hit by a foul ball a few days ago at a Jays game as well, I think when they were playing the Mets in New York.
