Husband of Dodgers fan killed by foul ball wants action, not team’s sympathy

The man whose wife died last summer after being hit by a foul ball at a Los Angeles Dodgers game wants increased protection for fans at the park before he accepts a ceremony to honor her. Woman dies after being hit by foul ball Linda Goldbloom, 79, died of "acute intracranial hemorrhage due to history of blunt force trauma" caused by a line drive in the ninth inning of a game Aug. 25 at Dodger Stadium. Linda and her husband, Erwin, were sitting on the first base side just above field level where the protective netting stops.
