But this year alone at Yankee Stadium, a boy was hit by a broken bat, and another man was bloodied by a foul ball that struck him in the head.]]> 2017-10-31 19:29:22 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_tate/cs10r5ngqhqq/wish/202308424 about 1,750 fans are injured yearly by foul balls at baseball stadiums. 205681 https://padlet.com/amanda_tate/cs10r5ngqhqq/wish/202308431 2017-10-31 19:29:24 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_tate/cs10r5ngqhqq/wish/202308431 NBCNews.com quoted Jordan Kobritz, a lawyer and professor in the Sport Management Department at the State University of New York in Cortland who has owned two minor league baseball teams, saying, "Most people don't like to sit behind netting. High-end seats are closer to field. So this is an economic issue. "They're concerned that if they extend netting, fewer people will want to sit in lower seats and that will impact the bottom line." https://padlet.com/amanda_tate/cs10r5ngqhqq/wish/202308442 2017-10-31 19:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_tate/cs10r5ngqhqq/wish/202308442 Twins All-Star Brian Dozier didn't hold back. "Every stadium needs to have nets. That's it. I don't care about the view of a fan or what. It's all about safety. I still have a knot in my stomach. I don't know if you guys saw it, but I hope the kid's OK. We need nets." 20640 https://padlet.com/amanda_tate/cs10r5ngqhqq/wish/202308543 2017-10-31 19:29:44 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_tate/cs10r5ngqhqq/wish/202308543 According to Bloomberg, about 1,750 fans are injured yearly by foul balls at baseball stadiums. 2003410 https://padlet.com/amanda_tate/cs10r5ngqhqq/wish/202308660 2017-10-31 19:30:01 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_tate/cs10r5ngqhqq/wish/202308660 20601 https://padlet.com/amanda_tate/cs10r5ngqhqq/wish/202308672  Frazier, who hit the ball and was visibly moved, said "Yeah, I think the netting should be up. I think every stadium should have it." ]]> 2017-10-31 19:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_tate/cs10r5ngqhqq/wish/202308672 20129 https://padlet.com/amanda_tate/cs10r5ngqhqq/wish/202308679  
Baseball stadiums are required to have protective netting behind home plate, the most dangerous place to be if a ball is hit into the stands. The girl who was struck Wednesday was beyond third base, in the lower section. Netting isn't required to extend that far.

The game came to halt as the young girl was taken out and rushed to a hospital. Her father later said "She's doing alright. Just keep her in your thoughts." He didn't offer any other information. 205543 https://padlet.com/amanda_tate/cs10r5ngqhqq/wish/202308934 2017-10-31 19:30:55 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_tate/cs10r5ngqhqq/wish/202308934 The Mets expanded their protective netting all the way to the outfield, perhaps the furthest of any team. 2001410 https://padlet.com/amanda_tate/cs10r5ngqhqq/wish/202309230 2017-10-31 19:31:46 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_tate/cs10r5ngqhqq/wish/202309230 Another obstacle is the effort that goes into installing protective netting, NBCnews.com reported.
