The Hug

Beaned Batter Rises to Console Upset Pitcher

A Little League batter rose from a beaning to console the upset pitcher in a dramatic scene at a Little League regional tournament game Tuesday in Waco, Texas.

Right hander Kaiden Shelton of Pearland, Texas, was facing batter Isaiah Jarvis of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Tuesday when an 0-2 pitch got away from him and slammed into Jarvis' helmet. Jarvis fell to the ground clutching his head as his concerned coaches ran to his aid.

After a few moments, Jarvis' head cleared enough for him to walk unaided to first base. Meantime, Shelton stood on the mound staring at the ground in tears over what happened.

After a moment, Jarvis walked to the mound and put his arms around Shelton, telling him, “Hey, you're doing great. Let's go.” Shelton's teammates and coach gathered around the pair to join in consoling the young righty.

The gesture drew a standing ovation. Pearland went on to beat Tulsa 9-4 and advance to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, starting next week.

A beautiful show of sportsmanship in a Little League World Series qualifier.

It does include a kid getting hit in the head by a baseball while batting, so skip the first four or five seconds if you don’t want to see that part (the kid is okay).

[Edit: the kid getting hit is shown again in slow motion about 25 seconds in]

What he does next tells me that his parents and coaches are doing an excellent job teaching him how to conduct himself.

Shadows of Our Fathers: part 2

1935 Koufax and Gibson were both born in 1935, the same year Dad was born. We were coached by dads born during a hardscrabble era when life was difficult, and baseball was played in farm fields on Saturdays and home plate was an oak tree and 2nd base the hubcap of a 1946 Desoto. The fathers that weren’t coaching, leaned against the backstop and encouraged us, yelling mostly good things,…

The family of the Utah little leaguer injured at the Little League World Series is suing the bunk bed manufacturer

The family of a Little League World Series player sued Little League and the manufacturer of the bunk bed that he fell out of on Aug. 15, causing him to have serious head injuries.

Nancy and Jace Oliverson, of Saint George, Utah, were listed as plaintiffs in the lawsuit on Sept. 16 against Little League Baseball Inc. and John Savoy & Son, also known as Savoy Contract Furniture, of Montoursville. 

The law office of Duffy & Fulginiti of Philadelphia filed the lawsuit at Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas on behalf of Nancy and Jace, who are the parents of 12-year-old Easton Oliverson..

MORE..

The complaint alleges that the lack of rails on the upper bunk bed was a major defect, as Easton fell and had “significant and permanent injuries.” Easton was taken to Geisinger Janet Weis Children’s Hospital in Danville after he fell from the top bunk at the dormitory at the Little League complex in South Williamsport.

The lawsuit was filed on counts of negligence and strict liability. The family alleges Little League was negligent in allowing the bed to exist "in dangerous condition."

They are seeking $50,000 in damages plus costs, interest, compensatory, and punitive damages as well as all other damages allowed by law.

No, this isn't hockey, but it's still totally awesome! I know Japan is huge in baseball (says that they've won the LLWS 11 times) and Canada... not so much, so to just beat them is great, never mind a shutout!
