Leg amputation? Leg amputation????

Well, yes, I say definitely carry her around the bases then to avoid leg amputation. Give her a tiara too!

As responsible FReepers, we must do everything we can to avoid the tragedy of leg amputation.

Little bruises and boo-boos too.

What if this was a football player running ahead of the pack for a touchdown who tripped and fell before crossing the goal line? Go ahead and give him/her the touchdown? NO!

Hobbling or crawling around the bases would have been a much better inspirational story. The actions of these players knocked their team out of a chance for the playoffs.

This is like giving trophies to all who participate.
