KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Lots of kids dream about making it to the majors.  They idolize their favorite baseball players and try to mimic their skillful moves, including the curve ball.

“Every time you throw that curve ball you’re playing Russian roulette with your arm,” said Tom Urquhart.

Tom Urquhart played professional baseball and has been a pitching coach in the metro for 35 years.  He says he never teaches curve balls.

“It’s that one pitch, and one pitch you throw wrong, one pitch you don’t have exactly right, then you pop something or you tear something and you’re done,” he said.

Many doctors agree that throwing a curve ball at a young age may not be safe because the growth plates haven`t closed, but they say according to research, the real danger is in too much throwing.

RAYTOWN, Mo. — It was supposed to be Victoria Denney’s first Mother’s Day.

“This is not what I had in mind. I pictured a day filled with a sweet card from my husband, maybe some flowers, but most certainly a baby in my arms,” Victoria wrote in her blog.

But her baby, Josh, was not in her arms. In February, 29 weeks into pregnancy, Victoria developed high blood pressure and protein in the urine. It was preeclampsia, a dangerous condition for mother and baby. The amniotic fluuid level was dropping, so Josh had to be delivered more than two months early.

“The doctors just kept telling us how strong he was,” Victoria said.

But 36 hours after birth, a nurse told Victoria that Josh was having a hard time. Nothing could prepare Victoria and husband for what they saw when they entered the neonatal intensive care unit.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The federal government is giving $150 million to community health centers so they can help uninsured people get enrolled in health insurance. People can begin enrolling in October through the new marketplace that’s part of the health care law. There’s a lot of education to be done.

Any U.S. citizen can go to the marketplace to compare private insurance plans and pick one. Coverage begins in January. It’s a process that will be totally unfamiliar to many of the uninsured.

“Patients need to be aware there are going to be options open to them — not just you fall into this income bracket so you’re gonna be in this insurance,” says Dr. Sudeep Ross of Samuel U. Rodgers Community Health Center.
