Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 4486454, member: 488"] I'd never heard of Commotio Cordis prior to last night. It sounds plausible based on the description, but it seems like most cases arise from sports that use a harder, more compact playing instrument (like hockey, baseball, or lacrosse) that pack a greater punch and stun you with a more velocity. A shoulder - especially with all the padding - does not strike me as the type of object that could cause this, and the cases that have occurred on the football field seem to mostly feature younger kids. With the renewed spread of COVID and other respiratory illnesses and/or preventative measures, I wonder about myocarditis as a contributing factor. My cousin had it a short time ago and was basically told by doctors to stop exercising for a while. If someone had it unknowingly and played through it, could this type of thing happen? I know Hamlin is a tough dude. [/QUOTE]
