Woman killed by foul ball last August @ Dodger Stadium

Don't know I could say this was swept under the rug. More accurately, I would say this is a case of the baseball media being lazy on the job.

I read this last week too. How in the world did this not get attention before?

It did get attention though:

After Goldbloom died the next morning, the Dodgers made no public comments about her death or what caused it. When OTL contacted the team Monday, more than five months later, a spokesman provided this statement:

"Mr. and Mrs. Goldbloom were great Dodgers fans who regularly attended games. We were deeply saddened by this tragic accident and the passing of Mrs. Goldbloom. The matter has been resolved between the Dodgers and the Goldbloom family. We cannot comment further on this matter."

Brody told OTL on Monday that she and her family would not comment on any agreement with the Dodgers or possible legal action, but she said she hopes to have a fund established in her mother's memory to assist victims of such accidents and their families.

Just not through the media. Which is fine. Not everything needs to be addressed in the media.

This probably should have been earlier.

"This" being what? Media attention? The entire matter being addressed? The article doesn't say when the Dodgers reached out to the Goldbloom family to deal with the issue. Just that the Dodgers made no public announcement about it and that the media was not involved in the matter until ESPN's Outside the Lines interjected themselves into it five months after it happened. Which, again, IMO, if fine because not everything needs to be addressed in the media.
