Valley Force .... thanks for giving your side of the story as well as the good news on the injured player. I am sure you have thought about this or even done it before, but one of the things I have always done when coaching 3B is to tell players to not go home on a passed ball if we are up a lot, and have even been heard to say "and we don't want anyone to get hurt". With that being said, there have still been some times when I said that (and other times when I didn't) and the player went anyhow! Fortunately, I don't remember anyone ever getting hurt, but I can recall a time or two when I heard some grief from the other team or their fans when this happened, and I used it as a teaching moment with the player later about listening to the coaches' instructions!
