Abstract

One thing that veteran ballplayers and fans know, long before the opening pitch, is that there are dangers on the base path. That is illustrated by this case of 13-year-old second baseman Tara Kelly, whose ankle was fractured when an opposing team's player slid into her as she made the tag.

Disclosure Statement

No potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
