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.
Dad takes kid to his very first Cubs game. Kid gets hit in the head with foul ball. Kid’s head is fractured.
No, there’s no message from God involved here, now is there?
And before you get pissy with me, the kid is fine and will live to see the Cubs blow it again another day.
