A Marin Catholic High School ((CA)) baseball player put in medically-induced coma a week and a half ago has not come out of it after doctors took him off the medication.
On March 11th, 16-year-old Gunnar Sandberg was hit in the head by a ball going about 100 mph from an aluminum bat. His friends and family held an emotional vigil Sunday night outside the hospital and nearly 800 people showed up.
Baseball practice at Marin Catholic ended with prayer Monday and the team has already decided to go to wood bats. Doctors say Sandberg has not responded as they hoped.
This is not the first time the debate of aluminum bats versus wood bats has come up, but it won't be the last, either...
There are always the financial aspects of the sport that keep the metal bats in dugouts- especially on the high school and college levels since the sport is not a revenue-producer on most campuses...
High school or college...
Wayne Freedman visits high schools and the USF campus for reaction on the topic...
