Now This Shit's Funny

From HERE:
Another Hall-of-Famer, Richie Ashburn, the great center fielder for the Phillies from 1948-59, and one of the game’s best leadoff hitters, once said he fouled off 17 straight pitches in one at-bat before hitting a single. Again, there’s no written proof of this that I could find. Unlike that amazing Ashburn story dating back to the ’57 season when old Whitey hit a spectator with a foul ball in the stands. The spectator, named Alice Roth, broke her nose and was carted off on a stretcher. As she was being taken away, Whitey hit her again with another foul ball!
