well....Jeter is a yankee player so he sucks anyways, but to keep yourself from getting hurt all the time...the best possible solution i can come up with is to constantly stretch before every practice and game! But stretch thoroghly (i'm not really sure that i am spelling that right), but also don't over-stretch either.

Both players initially did what they were supposed to do..Barret was right to block the plate in order to make the out and AJ to barrel right into him to make him drop the ball so the run can score.  What was wrong is when AJ got up, he intentionally bumped Barret as he walked past him which provoked Barret to punch him.  A little extreme but entertaining..thought I was watching the NHL!  Both players should receive equal punishment.

Getting hit by the ball is part of the job.  I ump for young kids, 12U.  I wear steel toe shoes, shin guards, and a chest protector (sometimes).  Tell this umpire that if he can't take it, he shouldn't ump.  The league should be notified too.  Also, the league should do more to encourage and train more umpires.

I know exactly what you mean!!!......I play NASCAR Thunder 03 for a long time and my blister on my thumb hurt so bad....I just had to stop playing it! It sucked to becaus eI was so addicted to winning it I didn't want to stop.....But if you just ween yourself off the game...let yourself heal...then go back to it later you should be fine. I can imagine that you could do some serious damage to your wrist if you work it for that long without resting it

I think pitchers should hit him in that elbow/arm protector thing and keep doing it until it comes off.  \n\nPlus he hurt the game of baseball since the whole steriod thing came about.

It really depends on how much your throwing and how often. Even with a normal baseball if you throw too much or too hard you can throw out and injure your arm. So as long as you do it in moderation you should be fine. Also if your arm begins to hurt, tell the your trainer immediately, otherwise you can seriously hurt your arm.

First thing is first...look at your arm when you throw (The easiest way to do this is to video tape yourself and watch it). What you want to watch for is where your elbow is in comparison to your shoulder. If your elbow drops below your shoulder, that is why you elbow hurts. When you elbow drops below the shoulder, it puts undo stress on the ligaments and tendons there. What you want is for you elbow to be level or slightly higher than your shoulder, but it has to be comfortable for you. You don't want it way stretched out so it's twice as uncomfortable as before.\n\nAnother possibility is if you throw a curve, how do you throw it? Are you using your elbow? Which is hard on younger pitchers (The bones and cartilidge.). You want to be using your wrist for the rotation of the ball, not your elbow.

That's really common with kids as they start to play, I don't know ho old you are, but I'll assume your just starting out.\n\nActually, the best thing that can happen is for you to get hit, and see that it really doesn't hurt all that much, at your level, anyway. Kids in Pony League ( 8 to 10 year olds), just can't throw the ball that hard. Yeah it's going to sting some, but it only hurts for a minute for the most part. As you get older and the balls coming at you much harder, it hurts alot more,  but  you'll get better at getting out of the way.\nIt's all part of the game. the most important thing to remember is to keep your eye on the ball. People get hurt more when they close their eyes or turn away.\n\nKeep on playing, have fun and it'll come to you.

I think there are some "walk on" tryouts during spring training.  I am going to be practicing my knuckle ball all winter and show up and sign a 10 million dollar a year contract with some very lucky team.

Not enough pitching, hitting or fielding.  But probably the worst is that a lot of times they just aren't playing good baseball.  Awhile back there was a runner on their and the pitcher decided to try to pick him off..problem was no one told the 3rd baseman and the ball went into the stands.  They are constantly missing curofff's and making poor baserunning decisions.

DO NOT THROW EVERYDAY.  This will hurt your arm in more ways than you can imagine.\n\nDO NOT THROW CURVES.  This will also hurt your arm and will actually shorten your career.  You shouldn't start throwing any curve balls, sliders or cutters until you are in college or in a minor league system for a major league team and then, an instructor will show you how to do it.\n\nThere are plenty of instructional videos out there for kids like you.

Have you gone to a doctor yet?  It might be a sprain or a strain.  That can take anywhere from a few weeks to a year to heal.  I would stay off of it, and use ice if it starts to hurt too badly.  20 minutes with the ice, and 1 hour without it.  Do not keep the ice on for too long, because that can cause damage in and of itself.  I hope you heal up soon, babe!

All kids dream of becoming major league ballplayers that is what drives them to keep going even when hurt. I f you force him out he may hold it agianst you if you dont and he injures it more he will hold that agiasnt you. NO win situation. You best bet is to cut out all leg work during practice. He can swing a bat without hurting it and he can take ground balls if hit right at him this will keep his timing and reaction time up to speed. Wrap the ankel and heat and stretch at night. Best of luck..

I'm finally quitting after two years of playing rugby. I doubt any other sport can really top the intensity and danger of rugby. During my two years, I've gotten three black eyes, one ruptured knee cap (the reason I need to retire), gotten into two fist fights, broken four fingers, broken three toes, gotten so many bruises I lost count, ruptured a vein so I had what appeared to be a fetus growing out of my leg, had five concussions, and possibly had the best time of my life. I'm really going to miss it.
