My other sister once broke a teammate's jaw at practice with a line drive, so these can happen. It's freaky but I don't think you can just give up altogether and go live in a bubble or something.

Re: Line Drive Kills Minor League Coach
Why not have players wear helmets then? Seems reasonable.

I had a teammate on my wrestling team in HS who broke his own strenum during a match once. He was pinning his oppenent but all of a sudden he just stopped, stood up, and then fell to his back and started yelling for help. I still don't really know what happened, something just snapped. Luckily he was okay in the long run, but it was sort of creepy at first.

Re: Line Drive Kills Minor League Coach
It would be REALLY distracting or the fielders. If this was a more common occurrence, we might see it, but it would be tough to adjust to. Batting helmets cut down on your peripheral vision and could cause more injuries.
There was a player I remember who wore a batting helmet without earflaps in the field. John Olerud. Still, it's really not necessary. You can't prevent freak injuries. You could be hit in the throat or the kidney by a ball and die too. You just can't cover up every part of your body for a once in a million injury. ![]() |
