That's two deaths in the history of baseball, two more than it should be. It's a terrible thing that happened.

So much harder when there are children involved that will not get to grow up with their father :(

What's ironic is that the ball didn't hit Coolbaugh in the head. :dismay:

Yeah. Obviously it's a knee-jerk reaction by baseball. "We should something to prevent this from happening again."

Still probably a smart thing even if it was an overreaction.

Sad.
