The End of Baseball Season
 

Posted By: <b>ty_cobb</b><p>I've spent a lot of time at the local baseball field<br />with my 4.1/2 year old son Darian, He was thrilled <br />when I went to Prostock Sports on Thursday to pick<br />up real bases for our batting practise. Saturday morning<br />was our season ender.<br /><br />I was watching the the Mariners go into extra innings<br />vs. Detroit that evening and he went to over to the <br />neighbors to play. When he came home, Darian ran through<br />our balcony window. Needless to say, there was more <br />blood gushing than in the Monty Python movie. I called the <br />paramedics, my wife started applying pressure to his lacerated arms, <br />and I ran over to my <br />neighbors for first aid supplies (he has an industrial first aid ticket.)<br /><br />We were up until two AM in the morning at Vancouver Children's Hospital,<br /> luckily no arteries were severed, <br />and we were able to get his arms stitched. I'm thankful<br />the boy is doing well today<br /> (my living room is completely trashed- blood and glass eveywhere).<br /><br />PS: I want to thank Max Weder and everyone from SABR<br />Vancouver for inviting me to the meeting and BBQ the <br />previous weekend, for those of you who don't know<br />Max has an astounding vintage bb book collection. <br /><br /> <br /> <br />

Posted By: <b>Bill Kasel</b><p>to your son and family. I hope he recovers quickly. It gives me shivers thinking about such a thing happening. I have an 18 month old son and I swear he has given me countless heart attacks already, and will continue to until....well....you know.<br /><br />Having a child has opened doors to the most amazing, fun, and fantastic things I could have ever imagined. There's no better feeling than being a father. Conversely, there is always that "danger" lurking that can drive you nuts.<br /><br />Makes all these little piece's of cardboard completely, and totally insignificant. There aren't enough mint wagner, planks, cobb's etc. around to make up for one second of time without our children.<br /><br />Bill
