New details that emerged Wednesday on the injuries suffered by the little girl hit by Albert Almora’s foul ball in Houston last month have heightened the attention on fan safety and extended protective netting at stadiums.

“It’s going to happen. There’s no question it’s going to happen,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said of MLB mandating its ballparks extend netting. “At times situations occur and then we react. Not just this industry, but we has human beings. It’s gonna happen; it’ll become better because of it. But it’s unfortunate.”

The 2-year-old girl who was struck in the head by Almora’s foul ball on May 29 at Minute Maid Park suffered a skull fracture, and after being rushed to the hospital following the incident suffered a seizure, according to a family news release as well as a letter from the family’s attorney sent to the Houston Astros. It was the public statement from the family since the incident.

She also suffered subdural bleeding, bruising and swelling of the brain, and spent “several days” at the hospital, according to Houston attorney Richard Mithoff, who also said she has been prescribed anti-seizure medication.

The girl will be reassessed next month and the family hopes to have more information about the longterm effects of her injuries, Mithoff said.

Whatever legal ramifications the attorney’s involvement suggests, the incident already raised renewed public outcry for more protective netting at ballparks.

MLB already had mandated netting be extended to the end of dugouts by 2018 openers. The little girl in Houston was sitting on the lap of a family member just beyond the netting down the third base line, a few rows from the field.

The White Sox last week became the first team to announce they will extend netting from foul pole to foul pole. As first reported by the Sun-Times, the Sox said specific details will be announced later but indicated the changes will happen this summer.

Almora, who needed several minutes to compose himself before continuing the game after the foul ball last month, remained emotional long after the game ended – at one point choking up as he said, “Right now I want to put a net around the whole stadium.”

He later said he hadn’t yet been in contact with the family.

Almora, who has two small children, chose not to talk to media Wednesday before the game.

“I can understand why,” Maddon said. “We’re just hoping this little girl gets well quickly. It was a horrible moment; we all felt it, and I know Albert still does feel it.

“Having children of my own and having grandkids, it’s a real tough thought, man.”
