Man Injured By Foul Ball Taken To Houston Hospital 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Oct 14, 2019 12:03 pm

A man in the Houston Astros dugout was hit by a foul ball off the bat of Michael Brantley during Game 2 of the ALCS and exited with a towel over his head.

The Astros released a statement late in Sunday night\'s game on behalf of Harris County Emergency Corps, which said one of its employees was hit and taken to a hospital, where he was evaluated and in stable condition.

\"My thoughts and prayers are with his family and him, and I hope I can talk to him soon,\" Brantley said.

Play was briefly halted after the accident in the fifth inning. AJ Hinch came on the field to console a shaken-up Brantley.
