TAMPA, Fla. -- Twins outfielder Denard Span struck his mother, Wanda Wilson, in the chest with a foul ball while batting in the first inning on Wednesday at George M. Steinbrenner Field.
Span was leading off the game against the Yankees' Phil Hughes when he fouled a 3-2 pitch directly to the left of the visitors' third-base dugout, where a group of his family members were settling in for the game.
The ball struck his mother, who was sitting three rows from the field and wearing a Twins jersey with Span's name on it, with a thud that was audible to the players on the Minnesota bench. Span immediately dashed into the seating bowl, consoling her as help arrived.
What a Dick! Seriously! He even finished his at bat! What, did she not love you enough growing up? Didn't get you a Play Station 3 for Christmas or something? This is the woman who birthed you! Look, everyone who knows me knows that I'm a huge Momma's boy, so I hope you get banished to the ninth circle of Hell, Denard Span!
