Title: Re: Oh Man, Awful News About Braves Coach Hit By Foul Ball Post by: ssmith general on March 16, 2011, 02:44:19 PM Just one eye? So he can still see? That's terrible but he's lucky to be alive and that sounds like an almost full recovery.
Title: Re: Oh Man, Awful News About Braves Coach Hit By Foul Ball Post by: Terrie1959 on March 16, 2011, 03:44:54 PM I guess the "good" news is that the Braves are going to keep him. He's still got a job!
It's horrible that they couldn't save his eye, I agree. :( Title: Re: Oh Man, Awful News About Braves Coach Hit By Foul Ball Post by: Marshal Dillon on March 16, 2011, 04:47:28 PM Just one eye? So he can still see? That's terrible but he's lucky to be alive and that sounds like an almost full recovery. Tough adjustment for someone 54 years old. I'm sure he's happy to be alive, but still a horible situation. Title: Re: Oh Man, Awful News About Braves Coach Hit By Foul Ball Post by: yepitsronnie on March 16, 2011, 06:28:44 PM Terrible news.
I'm sure it will be a huge adjustment. But, I'm glad he's alive. Title: Re: Oh Man, Awful News About Braves Coach Hit By Foul Ball Post by: Chechem on March 16, 2011, 06:30:22 PM Sorry for the sad news. Glad he will recover otherwise.
Title: Re: Oh Man, Awful News About Braves Coach Hit By Foul Ball Post by: MLB10 on March 16, 2011, 08:27:34 PM Baseball can be scary. I was at the Astros game where Berkman hit a line drive into the pitcher's head. Luckily he was fine. My worst experience at a game where we were sitting low on the first base line and a foul ball flew past my husband's friend and hit a kid behind him in the face. My husband is a catcher and he if had been sitting in his friend's spot I think he could have caught it. Instead, this kid's teeth were scattered on the floor with the popcorn. We were literally digging through popcorn trying to find this kids teeth. The sad part is the kid was the catcher on his LL team and they were there as a team celebrating the end of their season. :(
Title: Re: Oh Man, Awful News About Braves Coach Hit By Foul Ball Post by: ricky023 on March 16, 2011, 09:17:43 PM I just hope and pray he gets to come back and coach. RTR!
Title: Re: Oh Man, Awful News About Braves Coach Hit By Foul Ball Post by: TheVarsity on March 17, 2011, 11:07:37 AM Oh man, that sucks. I hope Luis can recover enough to coach again. And I feel awful for McCann. You know that this has got to be killing him. I agree. Hope he can make an excellent recovery and coach again. Title: Re: Oh Man, Awful News About Braves Coach Hit By Foul Ball Post by: m1q32 on March 17, 2011, 11:12:05 AM A lot of people don't realize how dangerous baseball can be. The lack of contact between the players seems to make people think it isn't dangerous. A lot of high school fields have open dugouts with not type of barrier at all in front of them. When I played, you never took off your glove in the dugout unless it was a covered one with a chain link fence or some type of netting. I've seen a lot of people get hit in the dugout because they weren't paying attention or didn't have time to react.
