The father of Kaiser Carlile, the 9-year-old batboy who died after being struck in the head by an errant swing, spoke publicly for the first time Monday as the National Baseball Congress suspended use of batboys and batgirls for the remainder of its World Series in Wichita.
"He was competitive, but in the same breath, he cared about everyone," Chad Carlile said at a news conference. "That's what it is, it's the love that he had for the game."
