We asked one of the coaches if he had a parent who's a nurse or an EMT, and he does. We got bkbjones off the field, away from the players, and the EMT checked him out. Heart rate through the roof, and blood pressure way higher than normal.
Long story short the EMT called 911 and he was shipped off to the local ER. They got him stablized, medicated, the whole thing. I had one more game, then went to the ER to check on him. He was released last night, I drove him back to get his car at the park. He'll be ok.

Just one more reason for partners to not pay attention to the between inning mechanics.
Think about it. If he didn't have you next to him, he may not have made the request of anyone else and went back behind the plate where only God knows what would have happened.
