Indians, Twins play it safer next season

The Cleveland Indians and Minnesota Twins are the latest Major League Baseball teams to announce plans to expand safety netting at their ballparks for the 2018 season.

The Indians will extend the current vertical netting behind home plate down the foul lines at Progressive Field to the ends of the dugouts in an effort to better protect fans. At least six other MLB teams have expanded safety netting since a scary incident in which a young girl at Yankee Stadium was hit in the face by a foul ball.
