Do you have a Magnet player?

[SoCalDad]

This is a player that for some unexplained reason always seems to attract injury. For example, you have hit ground ball after ground ball for 10 minutes and then as soon as she moves to your station, first hit line drive to the thigh. You them move to live pitching and your pitcher throws to 10 batters, as soon as she steps up to the plate, first pitch hit in the back. You then end practice with a fly ball cut off drill, you hit fly ball and fly ball successfully over the cut offs head. She moves to cutoff and first hit line drive that glances off her other thigh. Do you have one of those players?

I did...she was hit by the plate umpire when he was punching her out on a called 3rd strike. She died two days later.

I hope you are being sarcastic because that would be terrible.

I can relate to what you're talking about. I also remember the first time my dad coached me (I was probably about 10 or 11) and one of the players on our team got hurt. She was a first year player at her first ever practice and was one of the youngest on the team. Before practice started she walked into one of the poles behind the backstop. Her forehead had a nice lump on it and we hadn't even touched a ball yet.

I don't have a magnet player. Unfortunately however, after tonight's game I now have two pitchers in casts on their glove wrists! One girl broke her wrist in gym class tripping over a hockey stick. The other broke hers tonight sliding into home. I went from four very reliable pitchers down to two and we have some nasty tournaments the next two weeks.

All of the girls on my team are magnets. From the injuries, it is often said that it sounds like we play football.

I have a magnet player who is only nicked up and pouting when mom is around.
When mom is not at the field, no magnet!!!! Does mom carry some special thing in
her pocket????? Seriously, mom is a great asset to parents but has turned DD
into hypochondriac.

Coach JV get magic water. I have a friend it worked on till she was 20. She was a massive hypochondriac but the momenet her mum (or someone else) sprayed 'magic water' on the injury it would get better!

I swear I'm not making this up.

My DD.....last year, torn muscle in her hip, then a broken leg on Mother's Day.

This year, recurring knee problems, now a separated shoulder on Mother's Day.
