Almora definitely had a right to cry, especially since he's a dad. I'd feel the same way! He has a heart of gold!
I aggre
Cuz I text him away I hope he gets what he want and get to have the connection with the girl I think that would be good for both of them and so when did it go it's able 40 please please let her recovery and please let her parents have a connection with the guy like talk to him so he knows that he's okay I think we're talking to him and him talking to her will help her as well that they had never been very sorry for him you can tell how hard-working he is and that's his fault he should not feel guilty I hope he doesn't feel guilty and if he does I hope he stops feeling guilty it is not his fault. I finished spelling mistakes your grandma when I watch videos like we can emotional plus I am medically challenged that makes spelling harder and like I said I'm very emotional so these two things together make spelling or even harder than just one of them so please forgive me for any misspelling or bad grandma take care of yourself be happy be proud be the best you can be and be kind.
@@katielemmon2581 huh

I am medically challenged and because I'm magically challenge spelling is hard for me it gets worse can I get the emotional which the video did so I decided to use the microphone because I thought that would be easier but they're like we're spending a charger for me speaking clearly it's harder for me especially when I get emotional which I was. Anyway what I was more or less trying to say is this player is obviously very upset about this little girl who got hit (as is a great deal many others obviously) and he seem to be blaming himself . So I just what Jim to get what he want which is to see this little girl and talk to her so he knows she is okay . I believe that he really needs this and I also think it would be very good for the little girl so I hope he gets what he wants for both of their shakes because what I think it will help them. Hope you understand that Federal I'm sorry about any misspelling or bad grandma like I said medically challenged and again emotional.
@@katielemmon2581 Oh ok my bad I saw you repeat a lot of things so it confused me but I see that you are medically challenged and respect that, but if you are going through a hard time with that my prayers to you 👋
1:13 damn, that security guard could not have been placed in a more perfect situation for a consoling, motherly hug to a complete grown man stranger
That security guard is a good one I work with her she cares
Worked with her at Rockets games she’s good ppl
Ol dude recording in the back
Worked with her at the spacestation. She cares deeply
I worked with her when building the Hubble telescope she cares
Bless him. Real men with a heart.
Hope she is OK. He knows what's more important than a game.
Awesome comment!
Apparently the parents didn't seeing as how they willingly put their 4 year old in a unnecessarily dangerous position.
@@justbehappy9890
What a soulless, asinine comment!
@@TheCaveman46 how is it asinine for asking the question of why would a parent willingly put their 4 year old in a deadly position like that?
@@justbehappy9890 how many children go every week? How many times does this happen? Its just unlucky. An accident. The risk is very minor. The kid has more chance of been taken out by a school shooter.
But you still send your kids to school.
Statistics show leaving your house on a morning is one of the most dangerous things you can do.
Statistically speaking 100% of us are going to die one day. ;-)
I appreciate Albert Almora so much for his response. As a man, we are told to conceal our emotions and be "strong"...instead this man expressed his heart. All men should look at his experience and see that it's ok to be true to your emotions. So very sorry for this little girl; our hope is for a speedy recovery.
Well said
Some things transcend "manliness."
He's also a father of 2 kids.
I think nearly killing a toddler is probably going to cause most men to "express their heart." You're acting like he suddenly came out and admitted that he likes ballet or something instead of simply having an emotional response to a traumatic accident that he was a part of.

Wrong.. you never wear your heart on your sleeve. Your enemy will pounce on that and eat you alive. You’re putting yourself and your team at serious risk.
Awww he's a really good guy, hope she's ok & they know he is hurting also
Hes a good guy. He didn't want to hurt anyone. Hope him and the girl are ok
I’m not a cubs fan but this gives me a lot of respect fo Almora and the cubs organization, I hope the little girl is going to be ok.
The girl sustained a fractured skull, subdural bleeding, brain contusions and brain edema, it was announced in a press release in June 2019
Hate the Cubs but just bought me an Almora Card! A new fan for life....
@@tanschi8449 she should’ve caught that foul ball
@@VXVirtuoso Why hate a team? They are just playing for whoever contracted them. More importantly it's just a sport 😆Goodness grief.
@@tanschi8449 That's so sad to hear.
I used to run the EMS operations at the Braves. Had some terrible foul ball hits--one on a kid that made national news. It is every player's worst nightmare and I really feel for this guy. Glad the girl will be all right.
I've heard that she suffered permanent brain damage. 😢
This got me teared up. What a gut wrenching feeling. Bless this man heart for having such compassion.
I hope he's alright even now. Can't image having to carry this forever
He's so loving you can feel the pain in his voice
prayers for both & big ups for this player reacting like a real man.
So you're not going to go into how the parents willingly put their child in a potentially deadly position?
@@justbehappy9890 nope. just going to pray. why do you require more from me?
@@cherylametewee8716 Why don't you ask why the parents knowingly placed a 4 year old in a really in which people have died from said instances? That should be what literally everybody should be asking.
just be happy Then let's don't see baseball games!
@@auroraloyde3775 you do realize there are plenty of seats in which you have a better view of the entire field than a third base seat right?
Guess what doesn't happen there either? Kids getting hit by foul balls because of incompetent parents.... Would ya look at that, just look at that.
Good man! Shows you have a heart!
My heart broke for him when he said he has kids. And his face the way he looked at the stand there. Wow. I hope he's gonna be ok and prayers for the little angel. So sad. Prayers up. 🙏🙏🙏
Media needs to push stories like this more instead of the negative ones. Huge heart on this guy. I pray that the little girl made a full recovery.
Kudos to Almora, top bloke with that response.
God bless both him and the little girl, really hope she is fine
if god were real...this never would have happened....
@@sheezamann2724 Do people die?
@@humblehomie8902 you know they do
@@sheezamann2724 Are new lives bought into this world everyday?
@@humblehomie8902 not sure
You can feel his remorse and pain
His pain makes me cry. So sad. Prayers for both
Respect Almoras heart for his physival, emotional, verbal reactions and desire to meet and be a part of the child's life. Does anyone know was their an update on her and did they reunite?
Bless this man for his sympathy towards that little girl I honestly would have been balling my eyes out too
What a class act! Shows that men have a heart
Besides what happened, this just goes to show what an incredible man he is
That is so awesome and heartfelt how the batter reacted. Praying the little girl is ok.
She had a fractured skull and is on anti-seizure meds for a permanent injury. They settled a lawsuit.
@@angelajames7917 Thank you for the information on this Beautiful Child. Will be praying for her recovery. Baseball should of put those screens up a long time ago.
He's obivously a great guy and I hope that little girl is ok!
She’s actually not ok she has permanent damage
As a father myself, I felt that pain
Poor guy. He has a great heart 💜
Every time this crosses us on UA-cam, this always brings us to tears.
Some minor league stadiums in my area have rules that anyone under 16 can’t sit in areas that don’t have a net in front of it. Something the mlb should consider. Kids that young in the front row of a heavy foul ball target is asking for this to happen. Just awful.
The Astro catcher reacts painfully also.
Okay...
Yes everyone gets a cookie....🙄🤦
In this blurred photo you "can see the young girl in tears". Top notch reporting right there.
I am glad they are both doing better i am keeping them in 🙏🙏🙏👑💕💓💕💕💕💓
When I go to a game I always have a glove. If I'm sitting where a hard-hit ball could land I always make sure I'm looking when every pitch is thrown.
Dubfansince 1980
Ever catch a World Series game winning ball? Dude you’re so lucky? Which game? You willing to sell it?
What’s your price?
He’s a good man god bless him and the little girl
That's a real man. I watch the Astro's but now a fan of his as a person
What a sweetheart
I know this happened a few year's ago,, but I truly believe that he was sincere as he broke down in tear's over the ball he hit that struck the little girl in the crowd. I hope he is able to get in contact with her so he can formally apologize for what was a accident that was unintentionally caused by a ball that he this pro baseball player dad has small kid's of his own. I'm glad the little girl wasn't seriously injured and I hope that the pro baseball player was able to finally meet her and maybe form a friendship with her and her family.
So we thought we no longer had role models in sports. Guess on that one we were.......way off base
I see what you did there 😏
I agree
Good one and good pun
1:53 Wow, what a time to be making puns.
it wasn't a pun tho? its a normal word phrase people use. especially on the nesz
news*
This man has a heart
Hopefully she will be oh ok.
unfortunately, she has permanent brain damage. The Cubs as an organization are doing all they can for the family. and it is sick to see the comments blaming the parents.
This reminds of that fencing they put around race tracks (like in Formula One is the best example), even with the best of precautions, accidents still happen. There was a guy killed in Australia not too long ago from a tire that came flying in between the gap on one of those fences.I really feel for the batter though, the guy just wanted to put on a good show and play the game he loves. I really hope she is doing okay =(
are you stupid? if your in a baseball stadium you should have you kid protected and also pay attention to the dam game?! you can catch a 90mph foul ball, or dodge it, but its impossible to catch flying scrap metal from a car going over 200mph!
To be fair, if you're gonna bring a child to the game. Don't sit line drive territory. People want to go to a game think it's all fun and sit third row first or third base side. Those are some of the most dangerous seats in all of sports. If you're taking a child to a game. Sit in the bleachers.
What a sweet guy. I'm sure she will be ok! I cried watching him cry!
What a good hearted human being
Cohlrwcooray!
Good luck all the way from Ireland
🍀
😥😣😥😣😥 he is truly a one of a kind human. Little girl your life is going to light up📿🤲
Most people would respond that way. Unless you live in an area where the men are all cold blooded psychopaths. This isn't unique
Carolina Garcia kind of like that baseball lit up her face
@@patrickstard theres a lot could be said about this situation. i think you may feel me. she obviously isnt critically hurt. i have a feeling he will have his chance to pay for this tragic accident many times over
At least he cared unlike some others
? What MLB players have seriously injured a fan, much less a child, and not "cared"? You have no clue what up are taking about. This is the worst nightmare for any baseball player
We need an update on this
I worked above the visitor bullpen for 3 years at Marlin games. it was very dangerous there especially during batting practice. I saw a guy get hit in the eye and the sound of it was so loud it was Frightening. I also could not understand why people would sit so close with Infants. MLB took way to long adding additional netting
That's a man. Never knew who he was, but I love him now.
After this and Todd Frazier's line drive foul, they really need to make it a regulation for ballparks to have nets down the baselines.
They have extended netting far enough down the baselines already. There are certain areas in ballparks where children under a certain age just shouldn't be allowed.
I understand that it'll make the game safer, but the thing is, many baseball fans attend baseball games solely for the reason to catch a foul ball or home run once in their lifetime .
What a guy. Heart of gold
You can only cry with him God bless him and the little girl
Sweet Christ. My heart broke for Albert. We all know he didn’t mean to harm that little baby girl. He’s human and has been forgiven.
Bless him...🌹 Bless her..
Posted 2 yrs ago. This just came across my feed 2022. Any updates?
As a Yankees fan I’d like to say I’m so sorry and don’t wish this to happen to any player/fan, but the way he acted props to the cubs organization and it’s nice to know people in baseball still have hearts. I’m praying for both of them ❤️
What does being a fan of any team hace to do with anything 😆 People really think they are part of the team.
That poor baseball player it was an absolute total accident I'm so glad the little girl is okay and the ball player will never forget that moment but he will be okay as well
Parks should have an advisory or limit availability seating when adults bring children. It’s a real danger and never understood why they don’t place nets from 1st and third baselines. They have it for behind the plate for a reason. Wish the girl and family well.
@Anonymous Anonymous Naturally, but you're assuming he was watching the batter and not looking around, on his phone, etc. Anyone can be a Monday morning quarterback without having all the details.
Anonymous Anonymous I agree because what else can a guardian do at that moment but be a shield. Although most people are distracted at baseball games in some way or fashion so perhaps that is what happened here.
minute maid park does have netting down 3rd and 1st base lines, the girl happened to be sitting mere feet from the termination of the netting. I'm guessing you might be talking about from home plate to the foul poles on both sides, and while I understand safety is important, a great deal of fans prefer to not be behind netting for various reasons. Minute Maid park has compromised by having extended netting already, giving fans who don't want the netting options to purchase seats in those areas, while also offering plenty of seats in the protected areas for fans and families that would like to be behind netting. Obviously it's not the family's fault what happened, but they should've purchased seats 1 section over. You can see online before you buy your ticket if you will be behind protective netting.
I'm sorry for the Cubs and for the little girl who was hit
It not about him !!! It about her poor poor girl❤️
I am so glad that MLB has at least started to take action to try to prevent things like this from happening. Almore seems like a real standup type guy who showed life is bigger than baseball. I almost bet that he still has a relationship with that girl's family. I don't care how much of a man someone tries to be trying to hide emotions, in a case like this you just can't hide them if you are a real PERSON! I know this was back in 2019, but i pray that this girl heeled from the injury.
Wow!! I'd instantly break down and cry
Horrible . Hopefully the little girl will be okay. I feel for the batter . Worst possible situation.
Commentors ,What's your thoughts on this:
Perhaps children under a certain age shouldn't be seated in areas of the stadium that are in danger of line drive foul balls .
No. You cant 'assign' seating. The ballparks, however, CAN install netting around the WHOLE park.
I don't think that's the answer. Of someone else is sitting where that little angel was sitting they would have been hit. Its sad a little girl was hit. I think extending the nets os a better solution.
That’s a dad right there. If you’re not one you won’t understand. Hats off to you m8, respect from all of us.
We love you Albert......pray for her.
Bless him😭 and that baby girl💕
Holy Lord, what a nightmare!
A nightmare that could've been avoided if the parents had even the slightest bit of common sense.
Everything can change in the blink of an eye. One love.
jah bless
The girl is okay, and maybe some good will come out of it by putting up nets along the side line.
David Rook not really but kinda
Planet Bolshevik So you disagree with nets?
I dont disagree with nets, but nets all over the mlb have been fairly extended in recent years and that includes the Astros stadium. If you look closely, the family was sitting barely beyond the nets extension. The nets already go out pretty far there. To be honest, I know the family is not responsible for the situation, but you should be very careful and conscious of where you buy your tickets especially if you are bringing a 4 year old to the game. If you look online, you can see whether or not the seats you purchase are behind the netting. I'm not saying this isn't a horrible unfortunate circumstance, but at some point people need to be responsible for the safety of their own family.
It’s not the net they need to stop bringing kids in knowingly that area are known for foul balls. Why are you exposing kids potentially to danger?
How is the kid?, does anybody know
Bless his heart.
What a kind soul
Pay attention when you are in those exposed seats. The parents were negligent.
Children of that age should not be allowed on those seats. Best intentions cannot prevent something like this or worse fr happening. No children under a certain she should ever be seated in certain areas. There are still PLENTY of great seats protected by netting or far enough away from like drive foul balls.
How do you have that much time to move out of the way? It could happen to anyone. 🤷🏽♀️
I thought this was a new video but I remember this I was actually there at the game I remember the girl getting hit. I wasn’t anywhere near her I was on the other side of the field 2nd level. It was scary I felt terrible for the girl. It’s been years later i hope that girl is growing up a happy child
That’s sad
I met Albert at an event years ago in Chicago and he is easily one of the nicest abd classiest people. Also, Jesse Rogers of ESPN said recently that Almora is one of his favorite quality people
Damn man. Always respected the cubs. Big heart my guy.
I hope that little girl is ok. Also for Almora he's a real man for showing his emotions.
Should’ve paid the bill but I feel so bad…
There was a lawsuit settled in 2021.
Pisses me off that probably now the netting is going to be up...like wtf, always gotta wait for something horrible to happen... poor baby 😔😔
Article says she was actually 2 at the time and that she did sustain a head injury including a fractured skull. The parents sued and they reached a settlement.
Man I pray for him and the little girl that guy has. A heart And I knew just His eaction showed he's gonna do what he can for her head up almora praying for both of you
Awwwww I get it, but it's not his fault. :(
She was 2 years old, not 4.
I've more Americans had a heart like this gentleman. Yeah.....
A lot do.
that's a man that understands what's important
Shows he is human with feelings. Not like other athletes out there who only care about them selves
Pure gold man mad love
Definitely a class act!
Respect 🙏
Poor thing . Pray she's ok
Keep it ☝
Hes so sweet
What a sweet man 🥰
What an honorable man. If you’re not in a netted area why even bring your child to a baseball game, or why even go. A ball that hurts an adult can still cause extreme harm.
I thought all 30 stadiums agreed to put the netting to the foul poles. I went to an Angel game yesterday and the netting is NOT extended.
they sued the mlb/astros and the little girl has been put on anti seizure medicine since the incident. she suffered a brain injury and fractured skull
Bless him!
Any update on the girl who was hit? Was she ok?
Heart of gold
