Damn. Sad story.
Had my first bunt HBP in quite some time around a month ago. Batter squared early and ended up taking a fastball in the cheek at just under 90. The kid was a tough MF'er -- didn't make a peep, just went down on a knee, spit out some blood, had the trainer make sure he was alright, then trotted down to first. It could have been a really bad situation but he somehow got it in a spot that didn't break anything.
