Two-year-old Fan Hit By Linedrive Foul Ball During Today's Twins/Yankees Game

A very scary moment that brought things to a halt for a good five minutes.

Child was given first aid at the stadium and taken to a local hospital. No further info has been given out. There could be a very bad outcome to this.

Those sharply hit foul balls can really cause serious injuries.

It just needs to be mandatory. I've been to plenty of hockey games. You don't even notice it after a bit.
