30 stitches. He got a team autographed football too. Tough kid! Kids are very resiliant. You gotta give the player credit for his effort to protect the boy as he fell. The dad should have been keeping a better eye on his kids though, but so does everybody.
Foe example, kids do the darnest things. While we were visiting the in-laws recently, we all went to the NC train museum. One of the exhibits allows you to walk through an old Pullman mail car. As we are leaving the exhibit, my niece (3yr old) climbs through a net of chains to crawl out of a blocked side door and drop through a 12 inch wide gap and fall down to the tracks below. Not a mark on her. Its like she friggin vanished in less than 2 seconds. Nobody panicked, but the customary ER visit ensued.
And we were all right there when it happened, and nobody saw her doing it until she fell. It was that fast. So I empathise with the poor dad. But a museum and the sidelines of a football field are a bit different I suppose.

You're never to old to be immature
