Definitely didn't make the play, the ball squibbed into right.

I had breakfast with my doctor the next day. He's a good guy. Told me that he couldn't really tell, but if I still had an eye in there when the swelling went down, and it didn't hurt, then I would be fine.

Turns out all of the blood drained into my eye. So even though the swelling is down, I look nasty as ever. Kind of an inverse Cubs logo with red wrapped around the blue.

Ouch. Sorry that happened.

P.S. I don't think that's what they mean by, "Keep your eye on the ball."

Default Been there too . . .

.

high school days. rain forced infield practice into gynasium. Beautiful golden-tone wood floor. I played third base. Final scorching grounder hit to me and I lose sight of the yellowed ball in that mass of golden wood. BAMM. Right above the left eye. Two perfect set of baseball stitched seams neatly imprinted above my eye. Teammate concern quickly changed to rip-roaring laughter. God, I loved those guys, and miss those days.

Thanks for the brief opportunity to drift back 30+ years ago.
