Bad luck football injuries

At my high school this fall two of my really good baseball players have had football injuries: one should be fine (broken ankle and some torn up ligaments) the other will miss hs baseball (acl)
I guess that day our field was muddy and we took fly balls on the football field made the football gods mad at me

Wow - that's a bummer. Makes me glad mine only plays baseball.

We have to share the field with football, so the football gods are always mad at us!

Shame, two very talented baseball players from my older sons team had their baseball careers cut short by f*$tball. Why...

Ditto 2b mom, 1st year my oldest isn't playing and I can't say I'm missing it.

Our current 1B at my college used to be a solid MIF with an above average arm, throwing 86-87 off the mound during HS. However, he separated his throwing shoulder during a football game and can barely throw a baseball now. Glad that I stopped playing football after I broke my arm in 8th grade.

85 vs 11.7 is one reason. Coach Polk in his long memo mentioned a couple of academic advantages (not as much missed class time, ability to attend summer school). Plus, mine loves to play football on Friday nights.
