Follow Up: Lilly and Lee Visit Boy in Hospital

A quick addendum to yesterday's post about Dominic DiAngi, the boy who landed in the hospital after getting beaned by a foul ball off Cubs pitcher Ted Lilly's bat. Lilly as well as first baseman Derrek Lee visited the boy last night at Children's Memorial Hospital, where they stayed for 20 minutes and brought the kid a Cubs jersey. The Cubs have been in constant contact with DiAngi's family, and also sent him a baseball autographed by the entire team, a glove and jersey autographed by shortstop Ryan Theriot, and a bat signed by second baseman Mark DeRosa.

On the health front, the 7-year-old is out of the medically induced coma, has been removed from a breathing machine, taken off morphine, and is definitely on the mend. [S-T]

That kid is going to grow up to be such a Sox fan.

Though, like many a cubs fan, be may just learn to love the abuse.

I'm sure the kid really wants to see a fucking baseball right now.

This is such a good story!!! Dominic is such a cute and sweet boy. I am glad it turned out well. God Bless him and the DiAngi family.
