The Astros and the family of a girl stuck by a foul ball at Minute Maid Park in 2019 have reached a settlement, according to the the family’s attorney.
The incident occurred more than two years ago in a game against the Cubs when Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr.'s foul ball hit the girl, then two-and-a-half years old. The girl reportedly suffered a skull fracture and has been treated for seizures since the incident, which was widely considered to be the impetus for the league's push to extend foul ball netting at all 30 ballparks.
“She’s doing pretty well,” attorney Richard Mithoff told the Houston Chronicle on Friday.
