I'm afraid not. Being hit by a ball is a risk we take when we go to a baseball game and sit in foul territory. With more information I might see a way to press a claim, but this looks like a classic instance of what lawyers call assumption of the risk.
Of course, even if the Angels don't *have* to pay your wife's bills they might be willing to help. Few patrons suffer that sort of injury, and the club may choose to be more helpful than the law requires it to be.
Mr.Hoffman is right You might explore the possibility of medical pay coverage that will cover bills up to the limits The limits are relatively small usually but any amount would help.
