Sucks dude. A couple of weeks ago we were playing a one pitch tournament on Friday night against a team wcuranger had put in. It had poured rain (enough we had about a 20-30 min rain delay). When we resumed we had a guy running towards second. The outfielder from wcuranger's team overthrew it and his second basemen stretched to catch the ball. Our guy couldnt stop because of the mud. Need their 2nd basemen in the side of the head. 2nd basemen was out before he hit the ground. Ended up taking 5 to 10 mins to get him to wake up. I stayed back near our dugout because I didn't want to crowd them. Wcuranger said he was standing there and the dude was snoring. My 3 year old nephew was worried and kept asking if he was ok and if he broke his leg. If that wasn't bad enough. My wife was sitting in the dugout with my mom helping watch some of th ekids keeping them out of the rain. Well my wife got worried thinking somehting might happen to me. it sucked. I couldn't imgaine being there to see that.
Prayers definitely going out to this man's family and to your team.

This is really terrible to hear...it makes you appreciate what we have, even the things that seem trivial. I can't imagine what his family is going through. Thoughts and prayers sent for them.

Had something very similar happen a couple years ago in league. My team is waiting at the bleachers for the game before us to finish. Things are starting to get pretty heated between the two teams on the field and some words are exchanged between innings. A kid is coming out of his dugout and heading out to right field and starts jawing with the other team going into the dugout. As he gets to his position in right he just drops and goes into a full Grand Mal seizure. They took him off in an ambulance but he died later that night. Nobody is sure why it happened but the guy on the other team he was jawing with will never get over it. Obviously there were no evil intentions but that's no gonna bring him back.
Does put things in perspective. Very sorry to hear of this loss.

I hope all the idiots that think it is ok to use shaved bats and hit at the pitchers head/chest "because he has a glove" in league read this thread. Puts things in perspective. It can be such a fun experience playing this game, you hate to think about people dying from it. My heart goes out to his family.

Condolences to his family & I've got 2 words for anyone playing any recreational sport regularly...life insurance.
I guess a guy went down sat in a local tourney of heat exhaustion but you never know. Had a guy get smoked in the back of the head @ home on a cutoff throw from the ss 2 weeks ago in a game I was umping...luckily he's fine. Saw a guy get hit in the head going into 2nd last week...guess he was ok & continued. A few years back @ military worlds pcb a guy on the team we were playing collapsed into a seizure when he hit the of grass,glad we had med folk on our team. Turns out he had some problems w/ sugar & the heat wasn't helping.
The stories are out there every year,hopefully it never happens to you but make sure your family has some security.
And, no I'm not an insurance agent.

unfortunately it wont. Cheaters may stop saying stuff like that,( they have a glove, I don't shoot middle with a shaved bat, blah blah blah), but they don't stop cheating.

Wow. Prayers to all involved.
When it's my time to go, I wouldn't mind it being on the ballfield, except for the fact that it would affect the other people out there.

This is so sad and final. Let this be a lesson to all of us, that we need to get our life right because there will be a day when our heart beats for the last time and we have no idea when it will be. Get things right between you and family and friends, it may be your last chance. Pray for forgiveness from your sins daily and recognize who is truly in charge. If things arent right with someone or with God, today might be your last chance.
