Souvenir from the baseball game

Our family went to our local team's baseball game tonight.  First we went to see Mr. Popper's Penguins and then over to the ball field.  Our Peninsula Oilers were playing against Athletics in Action.  We brought plenty of blankets to wrap ourselves in with the weather being a bit chilly.  I'm sure glad we had them because the wind picked up and it was cold.  During the game several balls were hit right out of the ball field and I always worry about cars getting hit with one.  I know someone who left the game and found his windshield smashed.

The game was in the 11th inning and it was late so we had to go.  We got to the car, got buckled up and started driving through the parking lot when Martin shouts out that we have a hole in the windshield.  Yup, he was right.  One of the baseballs made contact with our windshield on the Subaru Justy.  Of all the many cars in the parking lot the ball had to single out ours! 

The photo below shows the hole (luckily it doesn't go all the way through but almost).  The long crack in the windshield was already there but the hole wasn't.  I have a feeling that this hole will spread all over the window.  The thought of buying a new windshield for this 1992 car is not a pleasant thought.  I'm going to call someone to see if they can fill the hole before it spreads.
