let’s send our deepest appologies to a die hard fan who got injured and is….
Liz McGuire’s love for the Toronto Blue Jays began young, with a childhood picture of herself decked out in “Jays regalia.” As an adult, she now has another Jays-related image memorializing her fandom: taking a foul ball to the face.
McGuire attends as many Toronto Blue Jays games as she can. That includes a game this past weekend, where a ball, off the bat of Bo Bichette, connected with McGuire at an estimated speed of 177 km/h.
In photos she posted to X, formerly Twitter, McGuire can be seen with a baseball-sized lump above her right eye and a dark black eye.
“I got my face mashed in … I didn’t even get the ball,” she joked online.
But on Tuesday afternoon, she said she doesn’t actually want the ball that hit her.
“That ball has no joy in it … that’s a mean ball,” she said.
McGuire spoke with CBC Toronto outside the Rogers Centre Tuesday, at which point her forehead swelling was significantly less visible.
“I feel worse but I look better,” McGuire said. “I feel like trash.”
