What happened to the cameraman at the Yankees-Orioles game? Teams pulled off field after scary accident

A scary incident took place during Wednesday night's game between the New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles as one of the cameramen was carted off the field.

The injury occurred in the bottom of the fifth innings when Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson made an errant throw to first base, missing the glove of his teammate and hitting the cameraman in the face.

The umpires called a stop to the action, bringing both Orioles and Yankees players off the field while medical crews attended to the injury cameraman.

After some time, Pete Stendel of the YES Network was carted off the field, giving a thumbs up to the relieved home crowd at Yankee Stadium.

It was undoubtedly a scary moment in the game, however, the fact that Stendel was able to acknowledge the crowd while being carted off is a sign of optimism.

There has been no word on his condition as he most certainly was taken directly the to hospital, however, Michael Kay stated that Stendel was conscious and talking.

As he made his way out of the stadium, Yankees fans showered the fallen cameraman with chants of "MVP".

It was a difficult situation that left many in the stadium rattled, most notably, Gunnar Henderson, who made the throw. The young infielder was visibly distraught following the play.

While the thoughts and prayers are going out to Pete Stendel that he will make a full recovery from any injuries he sustained, Gunnar Henderson will also hopefully get any help he may need.
