Editor’s note: Each year, the Star sports department contributes to the Toronto Star Santa Claus Fund via Proudfoot Corner. The drive allows children from financially disadvantaged families across the GTA to enjoy a gift box Christmas morning. Proudfoot Corner is our long-standing tradition of recognizing donors. And while we do, let’s update a story that went viral earlier in the year after a Blue Jays game.
Sitting in a seat down the left-field line on a Friday night in May, Liz McGuire had no idea she was about to become a minor celebrity among Blue Jays fans, but her life changed when a foul ball off the bat of Bo Bichette, travelling at 110 miles per hour, struck her in the forehead.
