Quote:
Dominic DiAngi of suburban Frankfort was sitting behind the Cubs dugout Thursday afternoon during a game between the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds when a foul ball off the bat of Cubs pitcher Ted Lilly struck him in the head.
I felt that was going to happen... I took my son to his first Angel game (he's 5) about 3 weeks ago and we sat field level, like 4 rows up from 1st base.
I always felt like foul ball was coming our way at any moment.
it was like i couldnt really relax because i was on alert.
SCARY! but Glad to see the kid is going to make it. _________________ ♪ ♫One good thing about music, when it hits, you feel no pain...

Wow. I too have sat behind the dugout at field level and that thought does go through your mind. Those balls come flying by FAST. _________________ Rest In Paradise Kobe & GiGi
Hopefully they'll make sure kids wear helmets or something.

Thats his first game too, sucks....
I really hope he doesn't let it effect his future enjoyment of the game. It's really a shame, but he'll pull through. _________________ Monta Ellis: "Kobe is #1, I'm #2, LeBron is #3."

To be honest, I'm surprise this doesn't happen more often... some of the low line foul balls go into the stand at a high rate of speed..
Yea, I know what you mean. I just think that alot of times the ball is deflected or something. It seems rare of a direct hit like that. _________________ Monta Ellis: "Kobe is #1, I'm #2, LeBron is #3."

I hope he makes a full recovery, getting hit by a Baseball is a terrible way to die or injure yourself permanently, going to a Baseball game is supposed to be something special and fun. Will he receive any compensation from the Cubs team? _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
