This Is A Horrible Tragedy

Here is an article about a 12-year-old girl that died as the result of a freak accident on the softball field. There was also the recent death of Minor League coach Mike Coolbaugh.

When I played Little League, I took a line drive right under my left eye during practice. Fortunately, I suffered nothing more than a black eye. The doctor who lived next door prescribed a milkshake, which my parents bought for me. It also made me a little skiddish when fielding after that. I think that is why I never made it to the Major Leagues.

These two articles just brought back the memory of the thud on my face.
