Houston Astros to extend netting at Minute Maid Park

(CNN) - A little more than two months after a 2-year-old girl was struck by a foul ball at an Astros game, the MLB club announced Thursday it will extend the netting at Minute Maid Park in Houston. In a press release, the Astros said the protective material will go farther down the left-field and right-field lines to cover more seats. "Fan experience is always a top priority for the Astros," the team said in a statement. Calls for increased fan safety at ballparks began in May when a foul ball hit the girl during a game between the Chicago Cubs and Astros at Minute Maid Park. Last year, Major League Baseball announced that all 30 ballparks were extending protective netting to at least the far ends of both dugouts, though there are clubs that go beyond those guidelines.
