Note: As one who works a little league facility I found this particularly
interesting. I was amazed to find out that the teams were playing when they
were struck. Little League parks are a lightning rod in it self, with large
metal lighting systems, metal fences, and aluminum bats... A Little League
park is a very likely target for lightning to strike. I've found that most
people hear about it, but until they see it actually happen, then will they
realize how much of a danger lightning really is.
Stay Safe,
