A baseball coach is dead after a freak accident at a minor league game.
Arkansas Travelers First Base Coach Mike Coolbaugh was hit in the forehead by a line drive foul ball.
It happened Sunday night, during a game against the Tulsa Drillers.
Witnesses say Coolbaugh was standing in the first-base coach's box, when he was hit.
Emergency crews tried to resuscitate Coolbaugh on the field, but he died at a hospital.
He played 44 games in the major leagues for both the Cardinals and Brewers over two seasons.
