[M&M Guy]

Ok, I'm tryin' to get this thread (loosely) back on-topic, but I hate to do it this way. I noticed there was no mention of the minor-league coach that was killed when he was struck in the head by a foul ball. Now there's a sad report today out of Michigan of a 6th-grade girl that died after being hit in the head with a batted ball while practicing with her softball team.

I'm kinda surprised we don't hear about this more often, especially with all the bats and balls flying into the stands while people are chugging their beers and munching on their nachos. It's one thing with a player or coach; it's their job to pay attention. But most fans spend quite a bit of time talking, eating, sleeping, burping, scratching; everything but paying close attention 100% of the time.

I know I don't want to go early, but if I have to, I'd prefer it was while I was watching or playing baseball, or refereeing basketball.
