Super Selfie: Near Miss Becomes Direct Hit

While on assignment, Sun Sports' Tampa Bay Rays reporter Kelly Nash posed for a picture at Fenway Park in Boston. Her"selfie," or self picture, showed that Nash was nearly nailed by a baseball.

Seeing the potential for viral content, FOX Sports Florida's Digital Content Manager interviewed Nash for a story (click here) that was posted to FOX Sports Florida.com on Sunday, April 28. Her story quickly spread.
