Fwd: struck in the head by a line drive

Shock resonates from death of minor league coach

By From Wire Services  |  July 24, 2007

Mike Coolbaugh became a coach with the Tulsa Drillers earlier this month not so much for the job itself, but because his little boys loved to see him on the baseball field.

"He had just started," said Coolbaugh's wife, Amanda, who is expecting their third child in October. "We were going to be done with it, but his kids wanted to see him."

Coolbaugh, 35, died Sunday after being struck in the head by a line drive as he stood in the first base coach's box during a game in Arkansas.
