A’s third baseman Brett Lawrie said he hasn’t seen the gruesome footage of his broken bat hitting the face of Red Sox fan Tonya Carpenter.
But hearing that the woman, whose life was in danger after the incident Friday in Fenway Park, is now expected to survive was just what Lawrie was hoping for.
“It’s fantastic to hear no doubt,’’ he said. “Any time you see someone carried off on a stretcher like that, you keep them in your prayers. It’s good to hear, and hopefully she’ll be out sooner rather than later.’’
Carpenter was taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center bleeding heavily from her head and in obvious pain.
