Why did Pennington play...

[Buck]

...if he was this hurt?

Did the coaches know or did he keep it from them?

He is a tough kid. I wish him the best in baseball. We need his bat in the lineup. He's got some pop.

The kid felt he needed to play. Who would we have played after that? Jim Bob Cooter... O wait he was Tenn (LOL *wink*) I think he just had the heart to play. Good call that he is hanging it up and I hope he does well in baseball.
