Although I'm not currently in Atlanta, just received word that there was an auto accident on the way to the game. PD Son sustained a broken clavicle. Please be in prayer for PD Son, PD, and all other parties involved.

Here's my good thoughts and best wishes for the entire family.
Prayers sent!
Prayers sent to PDson & others involved.
OPson called earlier to tell me about this accident. Apparently another DBAT player was driving the car that hit the PantherFamily mobile. From what Matt said, one of the cars was totaled, but you know how 17 yr. olds can exaggerate. I texted PD and he confirmed that JE does have a broken collarbone. It's his left one, not his throwing shoulder, so if there's a positive, maybe that's it. I assume the other DBAT players are fine, the driver pitched in today's game to get the save.
I'm sure PD will give us an update as soon as he's able.

Prayers sent to all involved....I hope it is not serious.
Sending prayers of God's healing presence!
Thanks for the updates!
Thanks for the updates!
Prayers from our family as well.
Very scary and to be away from home is even more scary. Sounds like it was a bad accident, thank goodness the injuries to PDson are ones that will heal.
We will be praying for a speedy/healthy/full recovery.

Thank goodness is wasn't worse. Prayers for a quick recovery.
Prayers sent and thanks given that it wasn't more serious.
Prayers to all to get well soon. May they have a speedy recovery.
More proof... There are things that are much more important than baseball. Here's praying that eveything turns out OK.
May the Good Lord send His healing.
Someone better keep the PE football coach away from sharp objects and open windows in tall buildings. At least the baseball coach knows PD Son will be healed by the time the baseball season starts.

Prayers for a speedy recovery and for all involved to depend on the Lord's strength and grace.

Amen to that!
Hoping for a speedy recovery...
Prayers for a speedy recovery for PD's son. Thank goodness no one was more seriously hurt although for a ballplayer a broken bone is certainly serious enough.
Panther Dad - Were you in the accident? Are you doing okay?

Is that the same thing as a prayer, just worded a little different?!!
Continually thinking of your son and family. Just thankful for you all that his injury wasn't any worse than it was. Hang in there!!!!!

Yep; just some positive engery and wishes for the best possible outcome.
HSBBWeb friends,
Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers. It has been a trying day, but God won't present us with more than we can handle. We will deal with this challenge and remain thankful. Our friends have already demonstrated tremendous support -- as your baseball families would do. I am going to edit a previous post (slightly) because I want to make sure the other people involved in the accident are not mentioned by name. It was an unfortunate circumstance that could have happened to anyone. PantherSon was the only one to sustain an injury, and although it is painful, he will be fine. It is a tough "break"
because this is an important summer season. But, life goes on. Jeff is a resilient kid and will come back stronger. He had an excellent tournament and was looking forward to pitching at East Cobb (he was scheduled to start today).
Again, thank you all for your concerns, your wishes for speedy recovery, and your prayers. Our remaining challenges involve logistics as we have a wrecked car in Georgia and work, home, family, baseball in Texas.
Please pray for the other families that were involved in the accident as well. They face the same "opportunities".
Back to normal soon!

I'm going to close this subject, but I want to publicly thank the families that helped us out during our trying time in Georgia. Naming names will embarass them but we have so many great people on our team. Please continue to pray for the families involved in the accident as there remain a number of logistical challenges. Thank you all too for the prayers and well-wishes. Jeff is still sore, but he will heal and his spirits are good (for a teenager). His goal is to be slingless for his mid-August trip to Mexico --- just after the trip to Farmington.
