No, never. Because no one has been hit in the throat yet. People have been hit, but no

BTW, I'd answer the 'why not' part if I knew what the heck it means.

I just tonight finished a book about the incident robboy mentions.
It's called "The Pitch That Killed".
Incidentally, raven, you can be killed by a well-timed pitch to the chest, there have been college players killed this way.

Gmack, are you talking players or spectators?

Considering that you've said gmack is the "Nitpick King"... I'd say that the way the question is worded, that he will have to take answers that deal with either players or spectators...
Here is my contribution regarding a spectator that was killed by a foul ball...

When I asked this question I wasn't sure if anyone had been killed. Not wishing to ask anything that could be fully answered with the word "no", I thought I'd ask for some learned speculation as to why it had never happened hence the "if not, why not" part.
As I was just settling idle curiosity, I don't mind hearing about players or spectators so thanks to all that answered.
I was inspired to ask it on vaguely recalling how some Prince Frederick died from being struck by a cricket ball...
