A jaw-dropping tale: Smacked with a broken bat
Susan Rhodes, a 50-year-old single mother of two, isn't sure if she'll ever attend another Dodger game again.
Can't blame her. Why submit yourself to getting a broken bat in the face again.
In Jeff Passan's exclusive Yahoo! Sports story that came out today, Rhodes explains how taking the barrel end of Todd Helton's broken maple bat in the left side of her jaw during a game at Dodger Stadium back on April 25 has caused her nothing but pain ever since.
Two fractures in her jaw, screws placed in it, having it all wired shut ... and more than $7,000 in medical bills, which the Dodgers' insurance carrier said they are under no obligation to help her pay.
It's that disclaimer all on the back of the ticket, remember?
"This is an unfortunate incident, and we wish her a speedy and full recovery," Dodgers spokesman Josh Rawitch says.
"From now on, I'm going to Lakers games," she's finally able to say.
