Earlier this season, we had a player die on the field of a sudden heart attack. He was no older than 35 (conflicting reports, but all below 35 years old), and he was in decent shape. He was running home, tagged the plate, then dropped on the spot. I was so glad that I wasn't there for that game. You never know when things like this can happen, and it's always a shame.

In the case of the OP, it's even moreso, and I'm glad that ASA changed the rule for when we may call "time" in case of injury. It wouldn't have helped this poor girl, but maybe it will help (or has already helped) someone else.

Good call, ASA. Good call.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
