The daughter of a baseball legend was accused of abandoning her baby in a forest

The daughter of Dennis Eckersley, historic Baseball player and member of the Major League Baseball (MLB) Hall of Fame, was arrested and accused of throwing her newborn baby in a forest in New Hampshire, United States,  ;with a climate of seven degrees below zero.

The creature was found without clothes in the middle of an unprecedented polar that hits the United States. Authorities initially received a report that a woman had given birth to a baby in a homeless tent early Monday morning. But when they arrived at the scene, Alexandra Eckersley lied to them and misled the officers.

According to journalist Kimberly Bookman, the woman misled the police and made up a story claiming she didn't know she was pregnant. Although the child did not die, according to the prosecutor this could have happened and that is why she faces serious legal charges against her.

Alexandra Eckersley is 26 years old and, according to the authorities, she lied about the whereabouts of the baby. After an hour-long search, police found the baby uncovered and struggling for breath on the floor of a tent in the Piscataquag River, Manchester, New Hampshire.

"If we hadn't collectively located that child when we did and provided first aid, I'm pretty sure the child probably would have died in that store," Manchester Police Chief Allen Aldenberg told CBS News. .

The baby was transported to a local medical center and while early reports indicated that his health was not good, more recent reports indicate that his life could be saved. Alexandra was arrested for endangering the welfare of the child.

Eckersley reportedly told paramedics that she "had no idea she was pregnant and felt like she had to go to the bathroom," according to an affidavit. A local police officer commented that Ella Eckersley appeared to be under the influence of drugs.

Eckersley has been charged with felony reckless conduct, endangering the welfare of a child, and second-degree assault with extreme disregard and falsifying physical evidence.

According to the WCVB television channel, Eckersley admitted to having used cocaine and marijuana in the days before the baby was born.

The woman has a record. In 2021 she was charged with endangering the welfare of another child after being arrested in Concord, New Hampshire. Eckersley was apparently under the influence of methamphetamine while driving a car. 

According to prosecutors, Eckersley's mother, Nancy, told authorities that she and her father offered her daughter drug treatment for years, but she refused. At the moment she was living in a tent for the homeless.

"They had an open offer for her to come home on the condition that she get treatment for her drug problems, and obviously she made the decision not to," Hillsborough County Assistant District Attorney Carl Olson said.

Dennis Lee Eckersley (born October 3, 1954 in Oakland, California) is an American former pitcher and Baseball commentator who played in Major League Baseball for 24 seasons.

In August of this year he stopped being linked to Baseball after 50 years, when he decided to stop commenting Boston Red Sox games on television to spend more time with his family. 

His success as a player allowed him to enter the Hall of Fame in 2004 after a successful career. Eckersley was successful as a starter but his greatest recognition came in relief.

He won the Cy Young Award and the American League Most Valuable Player Award in 1992 with the Oakland Athletics. He was a six-time All-Star.

Finally, after becoming a television commentator, Eckersley said enough at the age of 67 and decided to stop being linked to one of the most popular sports in the United States. After five months of abandoning broadcasts, little news happy puts him back in the North American headlines.
