On Tuesday, a cameraman at Yankee Stadium was hit by a wild throw and suffered a broken eye socket. The incident occurred during the fourth inning of the game between the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays.
The cameraman, who has not been identified, was standing behind home plate when a wild throw from Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez ricocheted off the backstop and struck him in the face. The man immediately fell to the ground and was attended to by medical personnel. He was then taken to a nearby hospital where he was diagnosed with a broken eye socket.
The incident has sparked debate about the safety of photographers and other personnel who are on the field during games. While some argue that these individuals should be better protected, others point out that it is impossible to predict when a wild throw may occur.
The Yankees released a statement expressing their concern for the cameraman and wishing him a speedy recovery. They also said that they are looking into ways to improve safety for personnel on the field.
The cameraman is expected to make a full recovery, but it is unclear when he will be able to return to work. In the meantime, he has received an outpouring of support from fans and fellow photographers.
This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers that photographers and other personnel face when they are on the field during games. It is important that teams take steps to ensure their safety and that they are aware of the risks that come with being on the field.
