I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.
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.Hockey finally put nets up that erase most - but not all - of the danger of flying pucks. It doesn't affect the vision of the game one bit and makes lots of sense. Maybe it's not doable in the danger areas down the lines of a baseball field (the backstop is well protected), but you shouldn't have to worry that such a typical occurrence (a foul ball) will kill your child.
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.
