Richie Ashburn: Information From Answers.com
by Mike the Usurper at 3:15 pm EDT, Sep 29, 2006

During an August 17 1957 game, Ashburn hit a foul ball into the stands that struck spectator Alice Roth, wife of Philadelphia Bulletin sports editor Earl Roth, breaking her nose. When play resumed, Ashburn fouled off another ball that struck Roth while she was being carried off in a stretcher.

I heard this story after Jay Gibbons hit his wife with a foul ball (bruised ribs, in the doghouse for 4-6 weeks) and had to see if I could hunt it down.
