Traveler Game Postponed & Help Family PDF Print E-mail
Written by Scott Miller

In case you have been living under a rock the last 24 hours, a Tulsa coach was killed last night at Dickey-Stephens from a foul ball that hit him in the head batted by one of the Tulsa players.  This is a very sad case and possibly the first death in baseball since the 1920's.  Ths coach left behind two small kids and a wife pregnant with their third child.

The Traveler game was postponed tonight by unamimous vote of the players and the game will be made up in August.  A memorial fund has been established for the coach's family and the Traveler's will take up donations at the gates at tomorrow night's game. I hope as many Argenta residents as possible go down to Dickey-Stephens before the game at 7:10 pm  tomorrow and make a donation.  I do not have tickets but I will be walking down to Dickey-Stephens to contribute and help out this young family.

This is truly sad and hope everyone will at least walk down and give something. This on field death is rare in the pros but many happen in college because the use of aluminum bats which gives the ball grater speed after it is hit. Truly Tragic

On-field deaths are extrememly rare at all levels of sports... from Little League to the Major Leagues. Sorry chefmabell, but there have *not* been "many" deaths in college baseball because of aluminum bats.
