	Ten-year-old girl taken to hospital Associated Press
	CINCINNATI -- A 10-year-old granddaughter of Cincinnati Reds owner Carl Lindner was hit on the head by Ken Griffey Jr.'s bat Sunday during a game against the Minnesota Twins. The bat slipped from Griffey's hands on a fourth-inning swing and hit Christine Lindner on the left side of the forehead, causing a cut. She was taken to a hospital to get a few stitches. Lindner and some of his family were sitting in their usual seats behind the Reds' dugout. The girl was in the first row when she was hit by the spinning black bat. Lindner and chief operating officer John Allen were sitting in the row behind the girl. Allen vainly tried to reach over and shield her as the bat approached. "I was trying," he said. Allen moved down a row to help the girl. A trainer in the dugout tossed Allen a towel to hold on the cut. Griffey stood outside the batter's box watching the stands. The game was held up for a couple of minutes. Lindner and others in his group walked up the aisle behind the girl as she was taken for treatment.
