Boy Fractures Skull After Hit by Ball at Cubs Game

Saturday , July 12, 2008

CHICAGO —

Doctors and family members say a 7-year-old boy who fractured his skull when he was struck by a foul ball at Wrigley Field was recovering and expected to live.
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.

On Friday, the boy was in serious condition. Children's Memorial Hospital spokeswoman Julie Pesch says the boy regained consciousness on Friday and doctors said he was steadily improving throughout the day.

The game was the first major league game the boy had ever attended.

It's tough, but this stuff happens.  It's a risk you willingly take when you go to a game.  Certainly some seats are more "dangerous" than others, but no matter where you sit, something can happen.  I'm glad the kid will recover, as this isn;t something you want to happen, and when it does, you hope that it all works out.

At least it wasn't some drunk crazy fan...............
