T-ballers are hurling 100mph these days? Get real, bruises are good for kids. Perhaps the kid needed to learn to pay attention. Hit him with a thrown ball so he won't be hit by a batted one later.
I suspect there is more to this story then is being reported. Certainly including an overprotective mother.
I agree that we pussify young boys now but intentionally nailing a kid in the head -- and it needn't be 100 mph to kill him -- is insane.

A pre-emptive beaning. That's new!
