Reply to "How much of a bubble did you put your talented pitcher in off the field?"

My kid quit football on his choice after the last game of his seventh grade season ended with him taped in full uniform (and helmet) to a backboard and an ambulance on the field, loading him aboard. Turned out to be a "stinger" but coach/dad/doctor from other team wanted to be careful .

Just before sign ups for next season, son called to say he wasn't doing football. "I like football, I love baseball," he said. "I don't want to get hurt doing what I like and not be able to do what I love."

Now, he's top pitcher on varsity. We suggested the night before he was slated to pitch our first post season game that perhaps he and our second best pitcher and CF should stop climbing trees and jumping out of them, but that's as big as the bubble gets.
