BernardMiller Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Well, that's certainly a nicer outcome than something I witnessed from the dugout while working for a minor league team (the Jackson Mets, AA) back in 1988. In the bottom of the first inning, our right fielder--who batted left-handed--was at the plate, and fans were still making their way in and finding their seats. Our hitter drilled a liner into the seats along the third-base side. One dad and his son, who appeared to be about age 10, were standing up as they'd apparently just found a spot where they were preparing to sit, and the ball appeared to be heading right for pop's groin area. Instead of shielding his son, he grabbed him by the shoulders and yanked him over into the path of the ball--the poor kid took the hit right in the chest. The players were just dumbfounded that the dad had put his kid right into the line of fire like that. The club's front office staff hustled up to make sure he was going to be okay, and I think they gave 'em some free tickets to later games to ease the pain; the players and I would have preferred to give the father a "Worst Dad of the Year" certificate instead!

Gary Naka Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I used that pix to show the yearbook kids/photographers, that they have to pay attention when shooting games. Or it could be them, that the ambulance takes to the hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
