A YES Network cameraman was hospitalized after he was hit in the head by an errant throw during the New York Yankees game against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday night.
Pete Stendel was working the camera on the right side of the Yankees’ dugout in New York on Wednesday when Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson tried to turn a double play in the fifth inning. Henderson, after making the play at second base, overthrew first. The ball hit Henderson directly in the head, and sent him falling backward into the well.
The game was delayed for nearly 20 minutes while medical staff attended to Stendel, who was later stretchered off the field and taken to a local hospital. Stendel raised a few fingers in a salute to the Yankee Stadium crowd as he went off the field, and the YES Network said after the game that he was conscious and undergoing tests.
