Child hit by baseball in serious condition

For one little boy who’s father said he lived and breathed for baseball, his first pro baseball game gave new meaning to, “Take me out to the ball game, take me out…”. Because that is just what happened to him, he was taken out when a pro batter’s ball which hit him in the head, leaving him unconscious and in serious condition.

Let’s all pray for a full recovery for this little boy.

Seven-year-old Dominic DiAngi couldn’t wait to go to his first Cubs game Thursday. And for the first two innings, he was having a blast.

Then, a foul ball off the bat of Cubs pitcher Ted Lilly struck Dominic in the head and fractured his skull.

What was supposed to be the most memorable of occasions, a child’s first professional baseball game may be his last. When hit by a baseball at Wrigley field, the speed of a professional baseball left the boy in serious condition. MT wishes him and his family the best and hopes he pulls through.

    I sure do feel for young Dominic! 56 years ago, I was his age, and got creamed upside the head with a baseball–no skull fracture, but a concussion involving unconsciousness for about 15 minutes or so) as the pitcher was a neighbor of ours, then 12yrs old.

    It sure sounds as thow Dominic is going to recover, but it’s sure sad that this had to interupt his summer!

    This is such a sweet story and I am glad it had a happy ending. Dominic is so cute and sweet. I hope he continues to improve- God Bless you Dominic and the DiAngi family
