Of all the luck: Denard Span hits his own mother with foul ball

By 'Duk

It seemed strange enough that a foul ball hit by Denard Span(notes) would fly into the stands and hit a woman who was wearing his jersey from the Twins.

Then we found out the woman was Span's mother.

In what can only be described as a freak occurrence, the Minnesota outfielder found himself feeling about as bad as a son can possibly feel after he fouled off a pitch from the Yankees' Phil Hughes( into his mother's chest.

This is amazing. As a Yankees fan I think this is just perfect. You even try to hit a home run, fuck you, your mother is going to get pelted in the chest. Deal with it.

In all seriousness though what are the odds of this happening. Was he aiming? Does this guy have some underlying mommy issues? How did them mother take the hit emotionally?
