(Undated) -- More than 100-thousand Minnesotans are living with a brain injury and 12-thousand of them are children. The Brain Injury Association of Minnesota is urging parents to make sure their kids wear a helmet in sports. Physicians say prevention is the only cure, and that kids often don't realize the signs and symptoms when they get hurt playing sports. Former Minnesota Twins third baseman Corey Koskie had his career cut short because of a brain injury, and he has been an ambassador for the association in Minnesota.
