Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
A line shot to the chest glancing off his glove happened to my 3rd baseman in a tournament about 15 years ago. He collapsed to the ground immediately, but never lost consciousness. An RN was in the stands and came to assist. He got back up after about a minute or so and we took him out of the game (it was the final game on a Sunday afternoon). He never went to the doctor, and later that year we went on to win a state championship. He and his wife had their first child recently.
A game of inches, a life of heartbeats.
Why can't these leagues continue to use the softer baseballs that are used in T-Ball leagues? The aluminum bats save money because they last longer (although I know 9 y/o's with $250 bats) but why do kids 9 thru 13 need to use real baseballs?
