**Yankees Fan Injured by Falling Debris at Dodger Stadium**
A New York Yankees fan sustained injuries during a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night when he reported being struck by a piece of concrete that fell from the stadium. The incident occurred while Ricardo Aquino, a fan from Mexico City, was enjoying the match, which was a rematch of Game 5 of the 2024 World Series.
Aquino was seated in section 10, located between home plate and first base, when the debris hit him in the back during the third inning. According to Alvaro Baeza, who translated Aquino’s comments for The Athletic, the fan experienced pain but was not bleeding. “He’s in some pain, but all it was, was the hit,” Baeza stated.
Witnesses in the vicinity confirmed Aquino’s account, expressing concern over safety at the venue. “We’re spending a lot of money up here. We should at least be safe,” one spectator remarked.
The Dodgers organization has acknowledged the report but has not provided further details, stating they are in the process of gathering more information.
The Yankees and Dodgers are set to face off again on Saturday night at 7:15 p.m., and fans are hopeful for a safe and enjoyable experience.
