Yankees fan claims he was hit by falling piece of concrete at Dodger Stadium: report

Ricardo Aquino of Mexico City was watching his favorite team lead during a rematch of Game 5 of the 2024 World Series when he was suddenly struck in the back with what appeared to be a piece of debris from above. 

"He's in some pain, but all it was, was the hit. He's not bleeding, but he's in some pain," Alvaro Baeza told The Athletic, translating the outlet's interview with Aquino. 

According to the report, Aquino was sitting in section 10 - an area between home plate and first base. The piece of concrete fell on him during the third inning. 

The Athletic's Brendan Kuty shared photos on X showing the size of the debris that reportedly hit Aquino and the area of the stadium from where he claims it fell. 

Witnesses sitting around Aquino corroborated his account to the outlet. 

"We're spending a lot of money up here," one person said. "We should at least be safe."

The Dodgers host the Yankees again on Saturday night at 7:15 p.m.
