Its not safe, even in the dugout.
 

I just saw this article on The Sporting News website:

Braves coach Luis Salazar loses eye after hit by line drive - MLB - Sporting News

MTD, Sr.

Saw that yesterday. :( Brian and Howie were close friends with Luis, terrible for all involved. :(

Salazar Returns
 

I recognize that this was a live ball scenario but the NCAA sent out a memo a few days ago about keeping players in their dugouts, even during dead balls and conferences. Apparently they are worried about too many people being where they shouldn't be.

Enjoy your season.

This is why I think all youth dugouts should have screens.

They just showed Salazar on the WGN morning news. His face is swollen and neck black and blue but he claims to be ready to manage right now.

That's the spirit.
