Still remember my vision closing and then not being able to stand on my own. felt fine after a few minutes and i did finish the game.... weird, I have been knocked down a few times (during my younger years... big mouth and booze)  but i never lost it like that. |
Sorry to here that, but that's what you get for moving.
Good thing is that a ball at that height would have bounced harmlessly off the bottom of most umpires' check protector. Although some taller ones may have caught it in the cup.
