Doing HS Fall ball tonight. I am BU. No one on, batter hits a
screamer to RF, where F9 is playing up. (Actually about 10 feet
behind me and to my right.) Ball is hit hard and I knew I had to
cut to the outside, or run in front of the play. Went to the foul
side, watch F9 field the ball, turn towards 1B and "WHAM" get hit
hard just under the right breast area. That is the hardest I
have ever been hit playing or umpiring. If that ball hits me in the
right side, I honestly think it would have killed me, because it
would have hit right at the heart area. (Yes, the throw was of very
poor quality - way off line.)
What is the worst hit any of you have taken? Just curious.
