Yankees To Install Additional Netting To Protect Fans

YORK JETS CELEBRATE A VICTORY
WITH A HEAVY HEART.
RIGHT NOW AT FIVE, THE
YANKEES ANNOUNCED THEY WILL
INSTALL ADDITIONAL NETTING TO
PROTECT FANS FROM FOUL BALLS.
THE NEWS COMES A WEEK AND A
HALF AFTER A TODDLER WENT TO
THE HOSPITAL AFTER GETTING HIT
BY A HARD HIT FOUL BALL.
STEVE OVERMYER HAS THE LATEST.
THIS IS A STORY WE'VE BEEN
FOLLOWING FOR THE PAST WEEK AND
A HALF.
FROM THE MOMENT THE GIRL WAS
HIT, FANS, MEDIA, AND PLAYERS
WERE ALL CALLING FOR THE
YANKEES TO EXPAND THEIR
NETTING.
THE FOLLOWING DAYS, TEN OTHER
TEAMS ANNOUNCED PLANS TO ADD
NETTING.
AND NOW THE YANKEES SAY THEY'LL
FOLLOW SUIT.
IT'S THE HIT AT YANKEES STADIUM
THAT BROUGHT TEARS TO THE EYES
OF MANY WHO SAW IT.
INCLUDING THE PLAYERS ON THE
FIELD.
A CURLY HAIRED ONE-YEAR-OLD
GIRL STRUCK IN THE FACE BY A
LINE DRIVE OFF THE YANKEES
THIRD BASEMAN'S BAT.
IT'S TERRIBLE.
THERE'S RISK WHEN YOU GO TO THE
GAME.
BUT I THINK IT'S TIME TO GET
THE NETTING.
THE YANKEES WOULDN'T COMMENT
ABOUT SAFETY CHANGES BUT
FINALLY, 11 DAYS LATER, THE
ORGANIZATION ANNOUNCED PLANS TO
SIGNIFICANTLY EXPAND THE
PROTECTIVE NETTING DURING THE
UPCOMING OFF SEASON AT YANKEES
STADIUM AND GEORGE M
STEINBRENNER FIELD.
THE SPRING TRAINING FACILITY IN
TAMPA.
THE BALL IS HARD.
REACTION TIME ISN'T GOOD.
AND SOMETIMES THEY'RE BLINDED
BY THE FAN IN FRONT.
ANYTHING THAT KEEPS THEM SAFE,
I'M ALL FOR.
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE A
WHILE AGO.
IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
THE LITTLE GIRL WAS SITTING
IN AN UNPROTECTED SECTION
BEHIND THE DUGOUT.
SENDING OUT THE CALL TO EXPAND
THE STADIUM'S CURRENT NETTING.
SHE IS THE SECOND CHILD TO BE
INJURED THIS YEAR.
IN MAY, THIS BOY WAS HIT BY A
PIECE OF A BROKEN BAT, EARLIER
THE METS EXTENDED THEIR NETTING
ALL THE WAY TO THE MIDDLE OF
THE OUTFIELD.
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
RECOMMENDS EXPANDED NETTING BUT
DOESN'T MANDATE IT.
IT'S A SAFETY PRECAUTION.
IT'S NICE.
I DON'T KNOW.
IT SEEMS LIKE TOO MUCH.
ANY MEASURE, AND IT'S NOT
THAT BAD.
IN A CAN PROTECT SOMEONE FROM
THAT KIND OF DAMAGE TO BODY, I
THIS I IS GOOD FOR BASEBALL.
THE FATHER MADE HIS FIRST
STATEMENTS ABOUT THE INCIDENT
SAYING HIS GIRL IS OUT OF THE
HOSPITAL AND RESTING AT HOME.
