Came home from work today to find out that my Nephew was hit by a car. He's 12 years old and has Aspergers syndrome, his name is Ben. He was crossing the street to catch his school bus and some 16 year old kid who has had license for 2 goddamn weeks; The bus had his lights on and there were other cars stopped while he was crossing and this jackass plowed into him and threw him 60 feet.
The report from the hospital is that he has 8 broken ribs, a broken leg and they are doing surgery on him now to stop some internal bleeding. He was med-flighted to Boston Childrens Hospital. His Mom was sitting there in the driveway and saw the whole thing unfold.
Im waiting for the next report. Hopefully some good news.
Here is the story from one of the Boston stations:

Ben and your entire family will be in my prayers. Having been thru a tough time with my little girl, the best thing I can say is be positive & stay strong for each other and for Ben. If there is anything that I could possibly do for moral support, just PM.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Please let me know if your nephew collects baseball cards, I would like to put together a "welcome home" package for him once he is released from the hospital.

WOW ... What a GREAT idea. Ichiro, ask Ben's mom/dad if it would be OK for us to send cards to Ben's home. His parents could even bring in a few packages to the hospital when Ben is feeling better. If he is into cards, imagine his face when his parents bring him package after package to open up. He will be the most popular kid in the hospital!
If they do say it is OK, maybe you could post their name and addy here. Also let us know what his favorite players and teams are.
I hope they say OK. I can't wait to send him some cards!

Hope things turn out for the best.
I just said a prayer for him.
In the course of every human endeavor since the dawn of time the risk of human error has always been a factor. Including but not limited to field goals, 4th down attempts, or multiple paragraph ramblings on a sports forum authored by someone who shall remain anonymous.
Ripken, Brooks & Frank Robinson, Old Orioles, Sweet Spot Autos, older Redskins - Riggins, Sonny, Baugh etc and anything that catches my eye.

Prayers for Ben and your family.
He is in a neck brace because something show up on the scans; but that's undetermined at this point. He has 6 broken ribs, confirmed, multiple fractures in one leg. confirmed.
Ben has been surprisingly brave and has entertained the nurse with several witty comments such as "my hospital room isn't up to my usual standards" He's also pleased that he has cartoon network in the room. His Mom and sister are spending the night at the hospital; his Dad and his other siblings and grandma are back home right now.
I called some co-workers (Doctors & Nurses) and Boston Childrens is ranked #2 in the world for kids and #1 for Orthopedic, so he is in capable hands.
Confirmed with his Dad that he does indeed like all things YuGiOh, sadly he is not a sportsfan lol.
Thank YOU for you kind words and prayers.

My prayers go out to you and of course to Ben and his family.
Guys, we also need to pray for the 16-year old driver. I'm not sure we'll ever know what happened in his mind to cause him to disregard the bus, but I'm guessing this cannot be a good time for him.
