Needless to say the new shoes were purchased the next day and the hip was sore for a week.
Just did it 2 weeks ago when I neglected to check for berms at the edge of the dirt circle around home plate. 3" lip caught me as I was going into the grass. I did a nice tuck and roll which got me an "8" from the judges.
