Nothing could have been done to save Coolbaugh's life........
.....and it sounds like him wearing a batting helmut would not have mattered, either.

I can't help but wonder how this will affect the guy who hit the ball. I bet he has a hard time even getting in the batters box.
Definitely sounds like a freak thing when the ball ruptures an artery. |

that is a shame. Unfortunately, it was just his time to go.
I feel bad for the batter who hit the foul ball. I can't imagine how bad he feels about it.

The report said it hit in the area behind his ear, which would have been protected by a batting helmet. http://www.robbinssports.com/sportin...ing-helmet.jpg |

Rockies first base coach Hill elects to wear helmet
It is amazing to see the responses to this. Maybe they should wear the full face catcher's mask instead of a batting helmet.
To feel good only, no real protection Quote:

I just thinks it's fallacious to say that a helmet wouldn't have saved him. In fact, it just might have, which is why they should start wearing them right now. |
