8 year old boy hit by bat at Mud Hens game - bloody photo in paper?

Okay, I understand why they may have published the story. But it struck me as odd that they would publish a photo of the 8 year old boy on a stretcher (with a bloody shirt and shorts, no less).

Though I guess nothing should be surprising any more.

Hope the little guy is okay. He'll have a heck of a story to tell later. Hopefully he at least gets invited back and gets the chance to meet some of the Mud Hens players...hooking the kid up with some tickets and autographs is the least they could do!
