“Even if it is 350 feet distance or anything, I mean the fact of how it happened and then go to bed motionless while the room takes place, I mean that Craig saw it, I saw it. We both arrived there,” said Shelton. “I think the referees saw him because of the way he kicked. It’s extremely unhappy. It is an understatement.”
Cubs players were one of those who kicked up as they watched the man were placed on a sign and on the medical cart.
“I have not seen anything happen, but I saw the face (advice) when it came out on the ground, and I could say that it was a very frightening moment,” said the star of Cubs, in Swanson. “All we could do was to pray for a good and strong recovery for him and his family. I have never been part of something like that before and I hope that I will never be part of something like that again.
“It is a humble reminder of gratitude that we should all have to play this game. People are obviously going out to support us, and they are a great reason why we are able to do what we do. It is obviously difficult. At one point like that, you want (fans) to know that you love them.”
