deldad - I saw the piece last week and I thought about you since if my memory is right I believe you were there.

Very nicely done piece. I just feel so awful for Mike's wife/kids and the hitter.

My prayers remain with that family.

A side note this story. At the USA Championships(JO'S) this summer all coaches will be required to wear helmets while on the field.
