NEW YORK — Aaron Judge hit his AL-leading 45th home run and topped 100 RBIs, Didi Gregorius surpassed Derek Jeter for the most home runs by a Yankees shortstop and New York beat the Minnesota Twins 11-3 Wednesday for a three-game sweep.
The game was briefly halted in the fifth inning when a foul ball down the third-base line off the bat of Todd Frazier struck a young girl, who was carried out of the stands, given first aid and taken to a hospital. The protective netting at Yankee Stadium ends at the home plate side of each dugout, and the team said in July it is “seriously exploring” extending the netting for 2018.
Frazier knelt down and covered his head, and many other Yankees and Twins watched in stunned silence as the fan was helped. The Yankees said they weren’t allowed to provide more information on her condition.

'Pucks may leave the ice surface at any time' is something that every hockey fan knows. You never ignore the action on the ice. Same thing applies to baseball. You've got to pay attention.

'Pucks may leave the ice surface at any time' is something that every hockey fan knows. You never ignore the action on the ice. Same thing applies to baseball. You've got to pay attention.

The difference is the NHL put up mesh anyway. MLB still seems to rely more on the "warning" on the back of their tickets than making an earnest effort to keep the fans safe. Any extra netting or mesh beyond the league's bare minimum that's provided for the fan's protection at an MLB game is entirely up to the individual stadium owner.
You might note that the those stadiums that provide just the minimum netting seem to reserve those seats for the player's families and other not quite VIPS who are not worthy of sky-box/luxury box seating.
