Several White Sox players agree: Protective netting should be extended to the foul poles

Netting and fan safety was the topic of the day in baseball Thursday, and the White Sox clubhouse was no different.

During Wednesday night’s Cubs-Astros game in Houston, Albert Almora Jr. lined a foul ball into the stands that hit a young girl, who had to be hospitalized. Almora and others were visibly upset, and teammates and Astros pitcher Wade Miley consoled the Cubs center fielder.

“The events at last night’s game were extremely upsetting,” Major League Baseball said in a statement Thursday.
