The Blue Jays fan unfazed by foul balls is back, and she's as defiant as ever
The first weekend of the 2019 season was highlighted by big-name debuts, dominant pitching performances and fan enthusiasm -- as well as one fan's lack of reaction to a foul ball, displayed in a way that captured the attention of everybody.
On Saturday night, a Blue Jays fan behind home plate was completely unfazed by a foul ball that screamed toward her before crashing into the protective netting. It was an awe-inspiring display, really, not reflexively hiding like the rest of us would do in that situation.

Shout-out to her for basically saying, "OK, everybody, is this what you want? Is this what you expect me to do back here? I hope you're all happy."
