The incident involving a two-year-old girl struck by a 105-mph line drive foul ball during a Yankees game in October 2017 left her traumatized. Geoffrey Jacobson, the girl’s father, shared her experience with the New York Post, though her identity remains protected.
Geoffrey described how the incident affected his daughter, who now expresses fear and trauma, even imagining the event happening to her toys during playtime. Despite the seriousness of the incident, there are moments of dark humor, such as his son’s playful reminders of his sister’s injury.
Geoffrey hopes his daughter will eventually recover from the trauma and possibly develop a love for baseball. However, he acknowledges the lasting impact it has had on their family and emphasizes the need for parents to recognize the potential devastation such incidents can cause for young children.
Reflecting on their fortune that the injury wasn’t worse, Geoffrey and his wife remain grateful but acknowledge the long-lasting effects. They express hope for their daughter’s recovery and forgiveness for the baseball team involved, emphasizing the importance of safety measures at sports events.
