McGuire also recalled the incident in a conversation with the New York Times. According to McGuire, she had turned her head to say something to a friend when Bichette rocked the foul ball off his bat. McGuire claimed she heard someone scream and was then hit by the baseball.
“I know you have to be careful with foul lines, and I know better,” she said, adding that she attends games regularly. “But it was 110 miles per hour off the bat, and it came at me.”
McGuire called it a “freak accident,” and said she’s “not going to let it shape my outlook of fandom.”
