John Kruk taken to hospital on stretcher prior to game

John Kruk was taken to a hospital on a stretcher prior to the Los Angeles Dodgers-Boston Red Sox game on Sunday.

The ESPN analyst was preparing to broadcast the game on “Sunday Night Baseball.”

“John left the booth feeling dizzy and was diagnosed with dehydration,” ESPN said in a statement. “His vital signs are stable and he’s in good spirits. We wish him a speedy recovery.”

Kruk was said to be conscious when he was taken out of the press box through the dining room. The LA Daily News says he had just eaten a pregame meal prior to being taken away. We’re pleased to hear that he seems to be doing fine.
