Tim,
I think the "minority" here, might actually be the "majority". The play needs to finish. There are times when players simply have the wind knocked out of them, experience a tramatic hit to the arm, leg, head; but without lasting consequence . . . even players apparently choking on their own spit. Obviously if you've got a severed limb lying on the ground, you'd have a different situation.

What do you do when a player accidently loses his helmet while running the bases? The odds of severe head injury increase dramatically, but you still allow action.

What if a player, not involved in the play, clutches his chest while there's still action going on? You don't call "time" in those situations either . . . or do you?

Jerry
