Los Angeles Dodgers fan Alyssa Gerharter paid a very high price for a souvenir ball Monday night at Yankees Stadium after the Dodgers won 8-2. Yasiel Puig caught a fly ball for the final out of the game, then tossed the ball into the stands as he's done countless times before - but Gerharter didn't make the grab with her hands. 

The ball made its way through the sea of hands and struck Gerharter in the face, knocking out one of her front teeth. 

On Wednesday, Gerharter was back at Yankees Stadium to see another Dodgers victory, and she got to meet Puig - who gave her a signed baseball.
