Genie caught a foul ball at the game, but quickly realized something went terribly wrong.
"Okay, crazy story time: a foul ball comes our way, people scramble, it's mayhem, and it ends up literally next to my shoe," Genie wrote. "I pitck it up. Yay! My first World Series game ever and I catch a foul ball! Then I realize there is chaos in the row in front of us; it turns out the ball ricocheted off a poor lady's face.
"It got her in the eye, she is bent over, totally swelling and bleeding profusely, and she can't stand up. The medics arrive thankfully to carry her out. I managed to take a pick with my ball then I hand it to her on her way out.
"If it possibly broke a bone in her face she deserves it more than me. I didn't catch her name, but if you see this hope you are doing better and on the road to recovery."
