In the wake of Wednesday's incident in New York that saw a 2-year-old struck in the face with a foul ball, Miami Marlins reliever Brad Ziegler took to Twitter to condemn fans criticizing the idea of teams extending protective netting in their stadiums.
The Cincinnati Reds, Seattle Mariners, and San Diego Padres are among the teams that have announced a plan to install additional protective netting to ensure fan safety.
Despite the protests of some fans, other teams have said they plan to review the measure in the near future.
