Lately, most of my time for photo shooting and processing have been taken over by shooting my kid's sports and posting a website for other parents. So I decided to try to begin to capture other images that are more interesting to me while at the events. This set is from one tournament where there were two separate injuries-one requiring an ambulance call. #4 thrown in for fun.

    An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.

    Jack, Kid got hit in head by a ball thrown to tag him at third. He was awake and talking to the EMS crew but certainly needed check-in at hospital for concussion.

    Was this the baserunner or the fielder? I've seen several baserunners get pegged like that this season, but the helmet prevented any injury whatsoever.

    The big controversy over aluminum bats and the fact the ball comes back at the pitcher so fast has always worried me. I know that's not likely the case at this age but watching the older kids? :eek1

    Jack, He was Baserunner. I think that this town did not require the face masks so protection was not as good.
    Ian, Maybe that was what happened to the pitcher in #3. I didn't see either accident as they were on adjacent fields to the one I was watching.
    Thanks for looking.
