Giancarlo Stanton wowed New York Yankees fans with a home run on Thursday night that did damage in more ways than one.
The Yankees slugger smacked a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth inning to put his team up 7-4 against the Minnesota Twins. The home run was a line drive to right field that had an exit velocity measured at 105.9 mph.

There was one serious issue: the home run hit a young Yankees fan in the head.

That looked like it could have been really bad. Let’s hope the fan turned out to be OK.
