Kaiser Carlile was taken to a Wichita, Kansas, hospital Saturday after suffering blunt trauma to the head and he died from his injuries the next day. His injury triggered an outpouring of support from the Kansas sports community and sympathy from around the world.
Kaiser Carlile, a 9-year-old bat boy in Kansas, died on Sunday after being struck in the head by a player's swing.
Kaiser was a bat boy with the Bee Jays, a semi-pro baseball team from his home town of Liberal, Kansas. The injury occurred as the team was playing on Saturday in the National Baseball Congress World Series.
Kaiser was hit in the head as a player was warming up in the on-deck circle. The umpire, Mark Goldfeder, happened to be a veteran paramedic and applied treatment until an ambulance could arrive, The Wichita Eagle reported.
At the urging of the Carlile family, the team played on and won the game.
"I know it's kind of a cliched thing to say right now, but he truly was the heartbeat of our team."
"He was at every game, home and away," said Moore. "The guys really rallied around him. If they'd show up to the park and not be having a good day, all it would take is for them to sit down with him for a minute and things would turn around."
