Worst shot:
Took a fastball square to the wrist doing Jr. High baseball, kid was probably pitching mid to upper 70s. Within about 3 minutes, you could have fit that baseball inside my wrist it was that big. Never did get it checked out, it still hurts if i tap on it today (the shot was a year and a half ago).
Wors string of shots:
In the course of 1 inning (about 10 minutes from first shot to last). Foul ball off of my left arm just under the protector, foul ball off of my right hand, 2 fouls on consecutive pitches straight to the mask (both hit and dropped right in front of me, not mere deflections), and a pitch in the dirt that bounced untouched right into my cup. This was also Jr. High summer ball and it was a couple of weeks ago. Home coach being the funny guy he is walks out with about 6 bags of ice before the next inning. He truly felt sorry for me back there. Visiting coach not to be outdone, offered to let me sit in their rather large cooler they had there and he'd go get bags of ice from the local store. I'll remember that inning for a long time.
