How many collisions or near-collisions\u00a0are there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What does this tell us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baseball is like the weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They should be showing replays of some of these current collisions\u00a0at the\u00a0Annual\u00a0Players’ Meeting as a warning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One might not be too extreme to predict\u00a0that someone will die on the field In the next 2 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A collision between a batter \/ baserunner and a first baseman that came out of nowhere! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both players need to leave the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think Bryce Harper’s near miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes, people laugh when I take a quick breath when players run towards each other, but you just need to watch a small sample of games to see\u00a0how powerful these guys are: 200 lbs x 10 feet\/second of momentum going one way and 200 lbs x 10 feet\/second going the other is like running into a tree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now imagine at full sprint speed 20+ feet\/second!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the pitchers\u00a0and batters are loaded guns when it comes to the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I remember in cricket 5-years back or more, a guy deflected the ball on his swing and it hit him in the throat and that was it for him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And he was wearing the full cage helmet and protective gear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
