Alexis Hoskey was 4 years old when a baseball fractured her skull.
It was a night like any other under the lights at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, one of MLB¡¯s most beautiful settings, in April 2011. Alexis¡¯ father, Monte, had gotten tickets through work and the family decided to go see a game ¡ª Alexis¡¯ first.
There were others with them and the adults allowed Alexis and other children to sit together. It was $1 hotdog night at the ballpark and the hometown Royals were facing the Minnesota Twins. The first pitch was just after 7 p.m., so it was still light out.
