So sad..baseball

[dunelover]

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.

I have recently witnessed a couple of fastpitch softball coaches wearing helmets---smart. I was playing in highschool when a coach was hit (in the temple) by an overthrow. She had a major head injury but recovered. I hope some will make the personal choice to wear helmets even if not required.

This situation is just so sad, and being w/ the team for only a short while. I know Tulsa will rally around the family as okies are known to do. My prayers go out to all his family and friends.
