A Tragic Day in Baseball. 35-year-old former major leaguer Mike Coolbaugh was killed in yesterdays Tulsa Driller's Game by Tino Sanchez of the Arkansas Travelers. No it was not a murder, but rather pure accident. He was hit by a foul ball. Time of death was reported at 9:47 pm.
Now, there are three sides to this story. Some people may claim that it was Tino Sanchez who hit the ball, and therefore is the person who is responsible for Mikes death. Others claim it was the coaches fault for not paying attention to the game. However, many other internet bloggers are claiming that the fault is Mike and or baseball and their unsafe league. While searching around for this story, i found many people wondering the same thing; if he was hit in first-base coach's box, should there be more safety precautions in the stadiums?
People have even ventured to say they should start wearing football uniforms. In my opinion, thats only going to hinder the game. Make them slower, make them worse. Still, these arguments are popping up as one coaches death was a direct result of a baseball hit.

I am amazed that ther aren't more injuries to spectators at baseball games, especially in the seats lining the first and third baselines. That is where I think there needs to be more safety precautions.
