Richard B the EMT Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 All right, you got me with the semantics. I meant the wearer of the black belt, and I thing you knew that. But that was a good catch of my misuse of semantics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Not trying to catch anyone in anything, Richard B. Really didn't get it, really didn't know what you meant, and in fact still don't. Maybe it's a slow day in my mental universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B the EMT Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Don't worry about it. In semantics "contests", even if you lose, you win...in a slight elevation of your education. That's why I don't mind having some things brought to my attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmesleep Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Just thought I would share this with you all, This just shows that kids can get hurt in any sport out there, even a simple game of catch. I know the medic who ran this call.......... http://www.ksdk.com/news/local/story.aspx?...322&catid=3 (KSDK) - This weekend's baseball tournament at the Arnold Athletic Association complex has been suspended after the death of a young player. Tanner Boynton, 13, of DeSoto was hit in the neck by a pitched baseball while practicing. It happened Thursday evening. He died Friday. A bouquet of balloons and flowers were placed in the empty Koury League Field. There's no word on when the tournament will be rescheduled. His death was certainly on the minds of some parents watching their children play baseball on Saturday in Affton. Steve Tobey immediately thought about both his sons who play youth baseball. "My son did get hit in the chest between the chest protector and guard this season catching," Tobey said. "Nothing happened, but a few weeks later this happened with that one boy and it really, really scared us that something like that could've happened to our son also." While Tobey is concerned for his son's safety, he won't let that fear keep his children from playing baseball. Because of privacy laws, the hospital would not release what was the actual cause of Boynton's death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
