A compendium of all the people who have died at baseball games.
In Morristown, Ohio, in 1902, one man asks another if he can borrow his penknife so he can sharpen the pencil he’s using to keep score. The second man hands his penknife to the guy seated between them, named Stanton Walker, and asks Walker to pass it on. At that exact moment, a foul ball whaps Walker on the wrist, and he stabs himself.
