Pitching is dangerous if you don't have quick reflexes to catch line drives. This should be common sense to parents. They want their son to play a competitive sport, but they want it risk free? They need to be shamed for their greed.
Agreed. When I used to play softball (underhand pitch no less) I was a pitcher. During one game while my team was up to bat my friend hit a line drive straight into the pitcher - it hit the poor girl square between the eyes breaking her glasses in half and breaking her nose. They took her to the hospital and we finished the game. I have to admit I was a little shaken when I went to the mound - but as you pointed out. This is probably the biggest risk when pitching. The reaction time is split-second - easier to get out of the way than attempting to catch a ball like that most times.
I absolutely cannot believe these parents are suing the maker of the bat! As you said, these parents do need to be shamed for their greed. It’s sad what happened to their son, but c’mon.
I’m pretty much speechless right now...
Tiddlywinks, perhaps? Oops, sorry! I forgot about carpal tunnel syndrome.
