HOUSTON -- Look at her face. Look at the little girl, orange bow in her hair, fear in her eyes, pain and suffering evident. Look at her. Really look at her, no matter how difficult it may be. And then look at the people surrounding her, the adults with hands covering their mouths, because a little girl -- a little girl with an orange bow in her hair -- got hit with a line drive that screamed into the stands at the Chicago Cubs-Houston Astros game Wednesday.
Look at the entire scene, ugly and awful and entirely preventable, and then tell me Major League Baseball teams don't need to extend protective netting from foul pole to foul pole.
