Just a heads up to all the coaches out there. Had an insistent at a game last week that thinking about still makes my knees weak. In our league we are allowed 4 coaches on the field during games. One of my players hits a hard line drive towards the opposing team’s dugout, one coach was watching the batter, and another coach keeping the score book was directly behind him. First coach moves out of the way and you guessed it second coach gets hit directly where no man wants to get hit.
It took us ten minutes to get him to his feet, and after some comic relief (I thought the count was 3 balls not two), Umpire was handed some ice then said “I’m not putting this down there”). It just shows how you can not take your eyes off the ball.
