Mattyv but baseballs hurt a lot when the hit you.
True. I was playing 3rd base in HS and coach wanted me to play in expecting bunt. I said he's not going to bunt, but coach made me move in. Batter drilled one hard right at me, my glove got a small piece, but it nailed me in the chest. Luckily bounced towards the pitcher as I realized I couldn't breathe. I had a mark from that one lol.
Another game I had been driven in, I crossed home plate and was taking my helmet off just in front of the dugout when a wild throw home to get a following runner beaned me in the temple. I don't even remember them carrying me into the dugout lol.
