>> axelrod: but the president wanted to make it crystal clear that beau biden's most important achievements would never show up on a resume. >> this was a man who at the democratic national convention didn't spend all his time in back rooms with donors or gladhanding. instead, he rode the escalators in the arena with his son, up and down, up and down. again and again. >> axelrod: beau biden was just three years when he his brother hunter survived a car accident that claimed the lives of their mother and sister. >> rather than use his childhood trauma as justification for a life of self-pity or self-centeredness, he would live a life for others. >> axelrod: what the president didn't say but what filled this room today was the knowledge that joe biden has endured tragedy enough for two lifetimes. it's why his other son, hunter said his father is so beloved.

>> we'd go to the senate with him, more often i think than any children of any senator ever. we'd ride the subway and the conductor would say, "you know your dad is our favorite." >> axelrod: and it's why so many feel his loss. chris martin from the band coldplay heard beau biden liked his music and volunteered to come sing. the biden family is so obviously close, everyone today felt like they were part of it. >> joe, you are my brother. michele and i and sasha and malia awe have become part biden clan. we're honorary members now. and biden family rule applies-- we're always here for you and always will be. >> axelrod: among other speakers is ray odenro, the army chief of staff, who presented beau biden the legion of merit for his service in the delaware national guard.

mark albert has the latest. >> reporter: in the second inning with boston ahead by a run, oakland's brett lawrie broke his bat on a pitch, it went flying into the stands, hitting a fan between home plate and third base. the woman, identified as tonya carpenter, lost consciousness for a short time and her injuries were described as life threatening. carpenter could be heard screaming. >> watch the bump! watch the bump here! >> reporter: fans and players fell silent. >> we knew it was bad because they would have not stopped the game if it wasn't bad. >> reporter: marty walsh is the mayor of boston. >> any time you're sitting on the first, third-base side, you just never. it's a sport. they're professional athletes playing. they don't mean to do it, but, unfortunately, things happen. >> reporter: in april a foul ball hit a fan in the head in pittsburgh. she was carried out on a stretcher. and minor league coach mike coolbaugh died in 2007 after being hit by a line drive. major league baseball has tried

to reduce broken bats, requiring the use of higher density wood with straighter grains. in 2008, there was an average of one broken bat later. the m.l.b. cut that in half. fan john fitch knows to watch out for fly balls but doesn't think about bats. >> when you're with your kid or something like, that you want to make sure you're jumping up and getting it, but yeah, never a bat coming at you like that. no. >> reporter: carpenter is in serious condition tonight. she was with a man and a child at the game. in a statement, the family said they are grateful for everyone's thoughts and prayers. jim. >> axelrod: mark, thank you. >> more than a half dozen declared and republican candidates for president are in iowa this weekend. former texas governor rick perry who got in the race this week, and wisconsin governor scott walker who has yet to make a formal declaration. both rode motorcycles at an event called "roast and ride." our political let's bring in our political

director john dickerson whose first broadcast as moderator of the "face the nation" is tomorrow morning. john, let's talk iowa. we could see as many as a dozen candidacies when all is said and done. does this make the statement more or less important. >> we may see more than a dozen, and they're all strong candidates in one way or another. on the one hand, a field that large, what the republican party is looking for is some kind of sorting technique to winnow the field down into a manageable number. on the other hand, with that many candidates running there is a potential in iowa there's just a great bunching in the caucus there, the first contest in the republican nominating process. and that all the candidates kind of do okay and then they just basically get in the caravan and go through the rest of the primary process. what you have this time around is there's so much money and with help from super pacs, candidates can stay on well past iowa when they couldn't in the past. >> axelrod: okay, let's switch gears and talk chris christie. you were just with the new jersey governor in new hampshire.

what did he tell you about when he might be getting into race and does he seem to be concerned at all about his low polling numbers to date? >> well, chris christie says he still has some business to attend to back in new jersey. so that means he's probably not going to get into the race at the earliest until july. he says he's also got one more kind of check in his open heart to see if he really wants to run. his fortunes are sort of at a low ebb. he was once considered a savior of the party. now he's got to balg p battle his way back, and if he's going to do it he has to do it in new hampshire, voter by voter, in those town halls that he likes so much. it's going to be a long slog for him. >> axelrod: john, thank you. and again a big day tomorrow for john dickerson and all of here at cbs news as john makes his debut as moderator of "face the nation." rick perry and mayor bill de blasio will be among those joining john. still ahead on the "cbs evening evening news, the chilling phone call that led to the latest charges of domestic violence in
