Here's a sad yet interesting excert from a review on slate.com
Seeing that we've lost some of our dear HSBBW friends on the field, it brings home a very poignant reality for us.
You're Out

quote:
Death at the Ballpark: A Comprehensive Study of Game-Related Fatalities, 1862-2007 is an impeccably sourced compendium of the men, women, and children who have died or been fatally injured while playing, officiating, or watching baseball in the United States. Its authors, Robert M. Gorman and David Weeks, two librarians and baseball historians at Winthrop University in South Carolina, have spent the last eight years scouring local-newspaper archives (sample search terms: "baseball and death" and "baseball and killed") for examples, in some cases going so far as to track down death certificates to confirm their results.
"There are two kinds of people in this game: those who are humble and those who are about to be." Clint Hurdle
