Erwin Goldbloom still is reeling over the loss of his wife, Linda Goldbloom, who was killed after a foul ball hit her in the head at Dodger Stadium five years ago.
Every night before going to bed, Erwin Goldbloom walks to the office of his quiet Camarillo home and taps up a YouTube video on his computer.“She was beautiful,” he says.
In fact, even though it was only the second death by foul ball in major-league history, there’s a good chance many are just hearing about it now.“Life isn’t fair,” Erwin says, choking back tears. “I wish I had been in her seat.” Linda worked for CBS radio and later in clothing stores; Erwin coached wrestling and taught health and physical education at Pierce College while also becoming a renowned wrestling referee. They had built a strong family life together in West Hills with three children and seven grandchildren.
“We know baseball, we were focused on watching the game, we weren’t turning around chatting,” Eve recalls. “I saw exactly what happened, and I remember it like it was yesterday.” By the time medical personnel arrived, Linda couldn’t walk, so two emergency medical technicians carried her up the aisle and into an ambulance and rushed her to what is now Los Angeles General Medical Center.
The Los Angeles County coroner’s report listed the cause of death as “acute intracranial hemorrhage due to history of blunt force trauma.” It cited the foul ball as the reason for the injury.
