The 2-year-old girl struck by a foul ball hit by Albert Almora Jr. during a Cubs-Astros game last season has a permanent brain injury, her family’s attorney said.
“She (the child) has an injury to a part of the brain, and it is permanent,” attorney Richard Mithoff told the Houston Chronicle. “She remains subject to seizures and is on medication and will be, perhaps, for the rest of her life. That may or may not be resolved.”
Mithoff added doctors described the injury as affecting the girl’s central nervous system like how a stroke would.
