13 yr old has heart attack rounding the bases

I didn't read the story, but most locales have "good samaritan laws" and as long as the attempted care is reasonable, you're protected.

I'm a responsible human being first, and the umpire stuff is somewhere down the list. I'm helping out wherever I can, if I can. On the ball field, or off.

Is there really an umpire association that advocates not getting involved when kids get hurt?

Do the laws protect us if, say, the person who collapsed is named Augie and we don't try to help?
