A line-drive foul ball off the bat of Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. missed the netting protecting fans down the third base line and struck a child in the crowd of Houston’s Minute Maid Park on Wednesday. The child was then carried out of the stands for medical care and taken to a hospital.
Almora was visibly upset, and he eventually struck out to conclude his fourth-inning at-bat. After the half-inning ended, he went over to a security guard in the section where the child was hit to inquire about the injury. He and the security guard embraced. and Almora was visibly sobbing after they spoke.
“ rips a line drive down the third base line and it comes in and it looks like it hits someone hard,” David LeVasseur, a Houston resident sitting in the section where the child was hit, told the Houston Chronicle. “It bounces, comes down and hits the guy to my left off ricochet and the next thing you know it’s at my feet. I pick it up and all we heard was screaming. “
