Dehydration Alert

[BayouUmp]

I was calling a 13-yr old Dixie Boys District All-Star game yesterday (with heat index > 100) and had a catcher collapse.

Organizers were well-prepared and has a nurse on the field immediately. We got an ambulance to the park and rushed him to ER. Reports were good about 1/2 hour later from the hospital, but he sure didn't look good we he left the field.

Please be sure you are emphasizing hydration to your coaches and kids, especially those catchers. Catchers are usually the toughest guy on the team and think they are invincible.
