Man, was it a kid? I'm not sure but the broadcast said it was a young fan and almora is visibly shaken up.

I hope everyone is ok.

ESPN just said the little kid is conscious and getting treatment at a nearby hospital. I saw the ambulance leave the stadium. Hopefully a speedy recovery

Found this.

Correa is out 4-6 weeks with a fractured rib. Correa, Altuve and Springer are out, too bad we don't have any other superstars to help get the team through their absences.
Reportedly from an in-home massage. WTF??

I have a simple solution, don't have toddlers sitting so close to the field. Isn't it a parents duty to protect their kid?

Waste of a good ticket on a toddler. Kid would probably have more fun in the nose bleeds.

I went to a game a few weeks ago. Seats were close to that area. I don't have kids, but know that area is foul ball territory. Phone stayed in my pocket the entire game. Don't need nets. Need awareness.

I agree that folks should pay more attention but was I at the game when the little girl got hit. Aware or not there was nothing you could have done on that particular foul ball in that particular section, it was a rocket. Short of requiring everyone to have a glove and undergo regular practice that ball takes you out 99% of the time.

But nets would be nice for the elderly and those with kids. Not everybody is a super disciplined, phone in pocket the entire game aware badass like you.

Has nothing at all to do with being a badass. It's basic common sense and situational awareness. Be aware of foul balls and line drives at all times.

There are places you shouldn't sit if you can't react. Foul balls are not a new thing; why is this debate coming up now? Is it just that people buying 100 dollar seats for their toddlers are too busy and important to think about such matters?

Yeah, I look at my phone during games and take pictures. When I hear the crack of the bat, my head pops up. Not just for safety, but because that's why I'm there. To watch the game. And when I was a little kid, if my dad took me in the good seats, he moved in front of me if a foul came our way or told me to look out. Hell, I'm pretty large and healthy now, and there are a couple seats on the corners I wouldn't buy tickets in because I don't want to worry about balls coming my way that much. I certainly wouldn't sit there when I get older, and certainly would not take a baby or small child.
