Cleveland Indians bat boys to wear black wristbands to remember child killed in August

Cleveland Indians bat boys to wear black wristbands to remember child killed in August

In coordination with the Major League Baseball Clubhouse Managers Association, Cleveland Indians bat boys — and all across Major League Baseball — will wear black wristbands on Sunday to remember 9-year-old Kansas native Kaiser Carlile, who was killed in August after being struck by a player’s swing.

Kaiser was the 9-year-old bat boy for a Kansas baseball team who died August 2, one day after he was accidentally struck by a bat during a game.

Kaiser, the bat boy for the Liberal Bee Jays summer team in Liberal, Kansas, was struck in the head as a player took practice swings during their game the day before.

Carlile was wearing a helmet.
