CUBS Player In Tears After His Line-Drive Foul Strikes 4-Year-Old Girl

Chicago Cubs player Albert Almora Jr. hit a hard line-drive foul into the stands at Wednesday’s game against the Houston Astros, striking a child.

Almora Jr. was visibly distraught after the fourth-inning hit in Minute Maid Park in Houston.

He immediately put his hands on his head and took a couple of steps toward the seats. He then fell to his knees near home plate and was consoled by teammate Jason Heyward and manager Joe Maddon.

It took several minutes for Almora, who appeared to be crying, to compose himself and continue the at-bat, and players from both teams also appeared shaken up by the scene.

Following the fourth inning, Almora, who still appeared upset, approached a security guard in the stands near where the girl was sitting and spoke to the guard before the two embraced.

Several media reports indicate the child is recovering well.

Comment from Ruh Roh is very insensitive. Almora is a father you twit and I am sure was thinking of his children and of course the well being of the little girl struck by the foul. If your comment was an attempt at humor you failed miserably. He can't be sued, the ticket has a disclaimer on the back absolving players of these type things.

Almora is a father and of course genuinely cares for the health & recovery of the little girl it was an accident, and thank God he has such a big heart.
