I spent the weekend at a 10 and under All Star Tournament, those poor boys started playing at 11:30 and played 3 games with a 30 minute gap between, they lost the 3rd game, the catcher a small kid, maybe 50 lbs, had to be carried out of the dugout, his parents laid him on the grass and poured water over him until he could sit up. It was 97 degrees, I can't imagine being locked in a car, why are people so stupid?
