Related: About this forumTwo-year-old Fan Hit By Linedrive Foul Ball During Today's Twins/Yankees Game
A very scary moment that brought things to a halt for a good five minutes.
Child was given first aid at the stadium and taken to a local hospital. No further info has been given out. There could be a very bad outcome to this.

It's time for baseball to do the same.

(3,360 posts)8. It's been a "suggestion" so far, correct?
It just needs to be mandatory. I've been to plenty of hockey games. You don't even notice it after a bit.
