A YES Network cameraman had to be carted off the field in the 5th inning of Wednesday night’s game between the Yankees and Orioles at Yankee Stadium after Baltimore infielder Gunnar Henderson hit the camera operator with an errant throw.
The cameraman, Pete Stendel, was conscious and undergoing tests at a local hospital, according to a statement from the YES Network after the game.
Henderson was in the middle of turning a double play for the Orioles when his throw sailed over the head of first baseman Ryan O’Hearn. The ball struck Stendel, who was injured and attended to by medical personnel for 17 minutes.
