Cameraman Pete Stendel receives outpouring of support from MLB fans after frightening on-field incident

A frightening event occurred during the New York Yankees vs. Baltimore Orioles game on Wednesday night as one of the cameramen was taken off the field after being struck by the ball.

Gunnar Henderson, a shortstop for the Orioles, delivered an errant throw to first base in the bottom of the fifth, missing his teammate's glove and striking Pete Stendel, the Yes Network cameraman in the face.

"NEVER MIND THAT CAMERAMAN, EXCUSE ME?!"

MLB fans sent their thoughts and well wishes to Stendel:

Stendel was struck as Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson tried to convert a double play, but his throw to first base flew over Ryan O'Hearn's head.

There was a stoppage of over 10 minutes while stadium workers treated Stendel. Michael Kay said on the show that he was conversing and conscious while being examined.

Spectators and players were shaken by the incident, most notably Henderson who made the throw. The young infielder was clearly upset after the play.

Stendel is a cameraman for the Yankees Entertainment and Sports Network. He has worked on a number of major projects, including Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: Live in New York in 2001.
