Game: Marlins at Red Sox June 27.Marlins relief pitcher Kevin Olsen was injured when he was hit in the head by a line drive and suffered a concussion and received six stitches to his right ear.
Question: What if this was aluminum bat? The velocity probably would have been 10% higher with the possibility of killing Olsen.
HELP: I am compiling a survey on 4 Player Safety issues:[1] pitchers getting hit by batted balls; Head injuries by batters, despite "legal" helmets (Refer to Sammy Sosa's helmet exploding when he got hit);[3]wrecks at 1st base when runner,fielder and ball arrive at the same time (your opinion: would flap extension on 1st base help?)[4] wrecks at first base because runner does not use the 3-foot running lane. Please forward play situations involving any such incidents plus your views on the subjects. Thanks. Pat O'Reilly
