Reply to "Beware the backswing"

Eleven years ago in a LL all star game my son took a hard shot in the head when a hitter lost his balance. It was so hard it knocked him over. He got up wobbly. He didn't seem himself into the next inning. LL keeps parents from getting near the dugout during all stars. No one checked my son. No one would listen to me asking my son be checked for a concussion. They suggested removing me from the park for making a scene. There used to be people/morons who thought concussions only come from being knocked unconscious.

My son was lethargic the entire game. I came close to calling the police. After the game my son told me he felt awful. He said he threw up twice in the dugout. I took him to the hospital. They kept him overnight for observation for a concussion. 

Like most poster's kids here my son is physically and mentally tough. He was the only competent catcher on the LL all star team. His catching meant more to his coach than his health.
