Heart Stopping

I always get a picture of my two boys - this one is perfect!
They are both so intent on the game it makes me giggle.

They say that baseball is the most dangerous sport to play. When you think about it it really does make sense. There are metal bats that the boys are swinging around with every ounce of their being. Then they hit this small, very hard ball that when hit hard enough is like a rocket coming right at you. Tyler has never really been in the line of fire until last night. He had just taken his position at 1st, looked around the field and BAM! The other teams batter hit on the first pitch and it went straight for Tyler's head. He ducked and put up his glove just in time for it to hit the tip then proceed to hit the bill of his cap before hitting him square on the forehead. This is when all parents hearts go to their stomachs. In true baseball fashion he finished the play then worried about his head! He was OK but he had quite the knot and a little headache. Didn't stop him though - he still got out in front of it and made the play the very next hit.
I happen to catch it all on my camera too!
