August 7, 1982 –
After a screaming foul ball critically injured 4-year-old Jonathan Keane in Fenway Park on this date, Boston Red Sox player Jim Rice sprinted out of the dugout, scooped him up, and rushed him into the baseball clubhouse “saving the boy’s life” with medical care that was provided in just seconds.
Team physician Arthur Pappas called Children’s Hospital while the medical team worked on Jonathan. They rushed him to the hospital, where doctors noted that Rice’s quick actions were instrumental in his survival. Jonathan fully recovered with only a light scar above his left eye.
