CHICAGO -- A shooting that likely happened inside of Guaranteed Rate Field, followed by a scary moment for Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. in Colorado. Both in a span of four days.
While Major League Baseball is on track for a marked increase in attendance this year, the two high-profile incidents raised questions about the safety of players and fans inside and outside of big league ballparks.
A spokesperson for the Major League Baseball Players Association said Tuesday that the union takes player safety "very seriously" and that it will review the safety and security protocols of all teams and stadiums in light of these events.
