John “Jay” Loos was spending the afternoon at the ballpark with his son Adam when a foul ball shot into the stands, breaking his nose and several bones around his left eye, according to a recent lawsuit.
They were sitting in Row 11, Section 135 of Wrigley Field – in the outfield just past first base – and watching their beloved Chicago Cubs take on the Pittsburgh Pirates. At one point during the Aug. 29 game, a line-drive foul ball went into the stands and slammed into Loos’s face.
“I knew foul balls go into the stands,” Loos, 60, of Schaumburg, Ill.
