My story - Doing JO 18 Gold at the Las Vegas Classic a few summers ago. College coaches watching these two very good Cali teams & I'm PU.
Pitcher throws a very hard inside 38' drop ball - one hops over the catchers's glove and nails me in the beans & frank.
Coaches call immediate time out (very cool
) but my partner then asks from the B position "What's the count? One ball or two?"
Everyone laughed after about 5 minutes we resumed the game once I regained feeling. Oh yes I had protection.
