if you go to theqsport sight which is part of the queen of diamonds tournament you can find all the info. Anyone can go but it cost about 3700.00 per person to go.

AllenR not saying old guys are to blame... trust me everyone has tried to do something about it.... Maybe you new guys can get something done... Shoot we finally got them to change the days the tournament was played on... We use to not get done with the championship game till late saturday night or even sunday morning and I mean 3am sunday morning.... allenR maybe you can contact the KHSAA and see how far you get. Us Old guys have burned our bridges. Just wondering how many state tournaments have we all been to? I agree with you. Trust me something needs to be done. I would think maybe just maybe if all the high school coaches came together and refused to play at that park than maybe KHSAA will listen and will change. Great picture but this has happened every year state is held there. It's also fun when the ball in flight goes through where the fences come together or bounces through where the fences come together. Allen trust me I agree with you but guess what I bet nothing will change. I hope they do. I guess you could say us old guys are partly to blame.

What is bad is that this happens every year that state is played there. Those temp fences is nothing new there. Guess what it will happen next year and the year after. Contract there is till 2018. I find it funny how the new people to state tournament are upset, don't get me wrong they should be, but us old guys who have been to just about every state tournament, have seen it all, this is not the first time it has happened.

Oh and I fell to mention her teeth cracked and missing.... and not only seeing it the sound of it when it hits her... you never forget the sound and what you see..... Thanks for the welocome jumper_dad...

Wonder how many on here has actually seen, live and in person, a player taking a ball to her face. You get there and her face looks like someone has beat her with a bat. Her eye barely in the socket and her nose to the side. She saying she can't see. If she says anything at all because she is out cold. I mean have you been there in person to help her. Just wondering. I've seen it in high school ball and travel ball. You know what else is kind of interesting is that once the player gets hit the next time she plays or even if she plays again she will have a mask on. You can ask those girls who have never been hit and they will probably say oh I don't need a mask and there mom or dad or coach oh they don't need a mask than they take one to the face and see how there mom or dad or coach may feel. Trust me if you have been there in person helping that kid it will change your view. I myself believe in facemask because I have been there and seen it. You now have some men slow pitch pitchers wearing head gear. But it can be your choice, your kid, your player decision.
