By R. Douglas Manning, Ph.D Injuries within the realm of sporting events are bound to occur to athletes, student-athletes, and the weekend warrior alike. They have happened, and will continue to transpire during games, practice, and even during freak instances of taking out the trash; see Bob Stanley, circa 1988 (Associated Press, 2010). Tradd Lowman, a prep baseball player from Bishop England High School, was recently injured while running from first to second base in South Carolina's State Championship Series. When the opposing team's shortstop attempted to throw the ball to first base to complete a double play, Tradd was struck in the face and sustained serious facial fractures (Bowman, 2013). His injury conjures up memories of similar athletic incidents at all levels and has the ability to stimulate passionate discussion regarding liability, injury prevention, safety equipment (i.e., helmet facemasks), and risk management. Although research often focuses on the safety of baseball fans/spectators, the well-being of the athletes, coaches, and co-participants is significant as well. Athletic contests are being played by bigger, faster, and more powerful participants and will continue to create risk management challenges. Don Zimmer was struck in the head by a foul ball hit by Yankees' second baseman Chuck Knoblauch
