Six years ago today...

Six years ago today, a very good childhood friend of mine died in a freak accident. I’m not asking for anyone’s grievances, just wondering if anyone here remembers it. He died after getting hit in the chest with a baseball, the incident occurred at NCAA on Rt. 3. Apparently, if I remember correct, the odds of your heart getting shut down if your chest is impacted, is 1/1000th of a second. (While your heart is charging up for its next beat, or something?)

 

I was up to bat next. :(

I remember, my mom is a nurse, and one of her nurse friends rushed to the field and tried to resesitate him right? My mom had a hard time letting me play ball after that...

Correct, as well as his Dad Dave who was chosen to be the third base coach for the game. They had a helicopter land and lifeflight him to childrens hospital. I remember when the news people got to the field, I threw a baseball at there vehicle.
