Shohei Ohtani’s 27th home run of the season — traveling at 112 mph — potentially injured a young fan during the Dodgers’ 6-5 win against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

The $700 million superstar hit a homer in the seventh inning and the ball appeared to hit a young fan in the stands in the head, as seen in a video on social media.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022.
