Why is it that some people here feel like they have to bring some sort of macho, you are a wimp, suck it type attitude to this discussion. Are your inferiority complexes really that bad? Is your ability to deal with any kind of emotion, logic or constructive discussion so poor that you have to cover it up by "being strong like bull", calling people names and putting them down for not being a man.
You guys amuse me. I don't care about being hit and I have the scars/surgeries to prove it. One of my favorite jobs was being bouncer at local club. I jumped into many a fracass with little regard for whether I'd take a punch, loose teeth or end up in the hospital. So take you wimp talk somewhere it's appropriate.
If you think that a catcher has a brain freeze because he didn't move a ball hit you, fine. I'd keep him in the game in most cases, as well.
If it happens twice and let him stay in the game, you are a fool.

Well I am certainly wiser than this man. It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know. ~Socrates
