Aaron Boone is "praying" for New York Yankees cameraman Pete Stendel after he was hospitalised on Wednesday night.
Stendel was working at Yankee Stadium as normal when he was struck in the face by a baseball thrown by Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson. During the fifth inning Henderson hurried to try and get Anthony Volpe out at first base, but the throw was high and instead headed for the crowd.
It hit an un-expecting Stendel hard in the face, and the game was paused while the cameraman received treatment. Stendel was conscious and talking, but was taken to hospital for further checks after being removed from the field by medics.
