Dobbs’s behavior knocked me out. In a sport filled with prima donnas who wouldn’t give you the time of day, Dobbs’s very human reaction deserves notice. The incident happened at Citi Field, Dobbs is a Marlin, and he proved that you don’t have to be a Met to be a mentsch. Perhaps even more impressive was the reaction of Jason Turner, who despite having nothing to do with the play sent the kid his jersey. He did it because he witnessed the accident from second base and was so shaken that he felt he had to do something. The odds are that Tejada will start next year at second but I hope Turner, who even before this incident has demonstrated that he’s a good guy and a solid, versatile player, sticks around.

Thanks Greg for caring enough for a child to go the extra mile. You never know just what will come from this and I hope you continue to keep in touch with him.
Bless you.

Amen! A lot of times parents don’t understand the danger sitting close to the field. With small or medium size children you never want to sit close or on top of the field. The higher seats give you a great view and a lot safer. If sitting low always bring a glove and stay alert at all times.

What a caring thing for Dobbs to do. You don’t see that happen very often. I hope the boy continues to improve.

Wishing the kid the best in his recovery. Foul balls and flying bats in the stands always happens and people tried to get out of the way to avoid it.
