A Keller Independent School District teacher won't soon forget Game 6 of the American League Championship Series.
Texas Rangers fan Amy Hall was sitting in the first row of the right field section at Minute Maid Park in Houston when Johan Heim hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning.
Hall ducked as Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker jumped up to try to catch the ball, but the ball hit Hall in the head.
"I got the ball, which is crazy," Hall told NBC 5. "So it hit my head, bounced off and hit the friend sitting next to me and then went to an Astros fan, and believe it or not they were kind enough to give me the ball which is super amazing given the atmosphere."
