Young baseball fan copies Phillies pitcher José Alvarado's moves
During an MLB game, 12-year-old fan Princeton 'Prince' Bailey mimicked Phillies player José Alvarado as he delivered his pitch in Philadelphia, PA.
The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees 8-5 in a World Series rematch at Dodger Stadium on Friday night, where a Yankees fan reported being hit by a falling piece of concrete, according to The Athletic.
Yankees fan Ricardo Aquino told The Athletic that during the third inning, while sitting in Section 10, he was hit by a piece of concrete and experienced pain, but he did not suffer any life-threatening injuries. Medical professionals examined Aquino, and the Dodgers have released a statement acknowledging the claim and confirming that they are investigating the situation.
'We are aware of the report,' the Dodgers stated to The Athletic. 'We cannot comment further until we have all the information, which we are currently collecting.'
Other fans claimed to see the piece of concrete fall, first thinking that someone threw it at him.
'I initially thought someone had thrown something, and my first instinct was to call for security," a fan recounted to The Athletic. "But then Aquino showed us the rock, and it was clear that it had fallen from the stadium and hit him.'

Yankees' plans for Amed Rosario revealed — after years of trying to get him
The Yankees had tried to acquire Amed Rosario multiple times over the past few years. Now that they finally got him, from the Nationals in a Saturday night trade for reliever Clayton Beeter and 18-year-old outfielder Browm Martinez, Rosario becomes the utilityman the Yankees have been missing since Oswaldo Cabrera broke his ankle in May. The right-handed hitting Rosario, who was expected to be available off the bench for Sunday's series finale against the Phillies after arriving from the airport shortly before first pitch, could form something of a platoon at third base with the lefty-swinging Ryan McMahon. But the ex-Met will also be an option at second base and the corner outfield spots, manager Aaron Boone said Sunday, in addition to shortstop 'in a pinch.' 'He provides some defensive versatility, speed and really hits lefties,' Boone said. 'So I think it kind of makes our bench and the balance of our roster a little more workable. And hopefully, get him in some situations where he can impact us, but I think he helps us a lot.' 4 Amed Rosario is pictured during the first inning of the Yankees' July 27 game. Jason Szenes for the NY Post 4 The Yankees acquired Amed Rosario in a trade with the Nationals on Saturday. Rafael Suanes-Imagn Images Rosario was batting .270 with a .736 OPS in 46 games for the Nationals this season. For his career against lefties, he has hit .298 with a .799 OPS, which is how the Yankees will predominantly use him. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS 'I could definitely see him playing against the lefties and with his defensive versatility, more being that guy that's a really versatile player off the bench for us,' Boone said. As for his viability at shortstop, the position he came up at with the Mets, Rosario has only started 11 games there since the start of the 2024 season, and none since last August. 4 Amed Rosario watches from the dugout during the Yankees' July 27 game.

'We got to look at short, he hasn't been there in a while,' Boone said. 'Certainly in a pinch, I could see that, but kind of viewing him more as third and second and in the corners in the outfield.'
