Brett Lawrie offered a gesture of support this week to the woman who was struck by his broken bat last Friday at Fenway Park.
The Oakland A’s third baseman sent flowers and a note Tuesday to the hospital room of 44-year-old Tonya Carpenter, who is recovering from her injuries at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
“Sending my thoughts and prayers,” Lawrie’s note read, according to WCVB-TV in Boston.
The Carpenter family responded with a message of its own.
“Brett, (the flowers) are the only ones by her side,” the message read, via WCVB.
