Which does not prevent this type of injury, it only increases the chance if you use it, but you might just get unlucky with a homerun living downwind from a stadium lol

If I'm counting right, should be around a 1 000 per year.

I went with 168 million males in the US, so divide by 175 000 is a thousand, which is ~2.5 per day. But I might be wrong what a yearly incidence meabs.

That's still more common than I'd like.
