Francisco Lindor Calls for MLB to Extend Netting after He Hit a 3-year-old Boy in the Head With a Foul Ball

Via WKYC:

“You want to have that interaction with the fans, getting autographs and stuff, but at the end of the day, we want to make sure everybody comes out of this game healthy and we gotta do something about it. It sucks. Everybody feels bad.”

According to Lindor, the child is at a local hospital and in stable condition.

“I heard the kid is doing well. He’s in the hospital, he’s getting checked. You know I know he’s in stable condition. He’s doing good. In a way it makes me happy but it sucks, you know. I don’t want it to happen to anybody, especially a little kid,” said Lindor.
