So sad..baseball

New posts
That is a very sad story OL. :( We have similar seats at the stadium and you always have to pay attention!!! A bat that split in two came our way one evening. :eek:
 
That is very sad. :cry: Just an FYI, you have to take one of the http:// off to read the story, and make sure you have a ":" after the http.

Nevermind.....I see you edited. ;)

It also scares me. My step dad just bought front row box seats near first base to take Dylan to a game. We went a couple of weeks ago and were sitting close and they caught a ball. I'm always afraid I'm going to get hit. :shock:
It's awful. Mr. Pod said he heard a radio interview this morning where Tony LaRussa was asked for a comment on the story, and Tony didn't even know it had happened. Awful way to find out.
 
I had an opportunity to talk with this guy before a game several years ago when he was playing for Indianapolis' local AAA club. Although you can never speak accurately to somebody's character after just a brief conversation, he came off as a genuinely nice person who really loved being a baseball player.

Another reminder that life is precious. :(
 
i try to avoid baseball when i can, but i am wondering, is this a freak accident type thing ? i can't remember hearing of this happening before.
 
This happened recently here to a high school kid while playing. :(
 
Death from this kind of thing is a bit of a freak accident (the kid in Grapevine was very sad) but makes you wonder why the base coaches aren't wearing batting helmets, as the baserunners have to.
