I had wondered if parents of Relievers felt anything but listening now to PGStaff above I can now see they do. lol. So it appears to me that there really isn't ANY solace or peace as a parent! We all get twisted up in knots when they play.

But I will go on record here to say this: The knot in the stomach is twisted just a little bit tighter and harder in the parent whose son pitches! Hands down. Last night I was almost nauseous before game time up until he was relieved.

Right there with you YGD! I don't get nauseous...I've had heart palpitations! Have to walk to ladies room to shake awhile! I know what ptsd is! Son was 15 yrs old, comebacker:  8 oribtal fractures, broken nose, fractured jaw, split lip, small piece of tongue gone...writhing in pain...But conscious...& very bloody. Jaw, lip & tongue were instantanious reaction to the shot. Clenched so hard, he cracked his jaw!  Abt 6 wks before his vision cleared. And he was LUCKY!
