It's really not that hard to imagine. A curve ball just barely on the inside corner keeps curving and hits an elbow or knee or forearms on a check swing. Or a ball coming in more diagonally a la Kent Tekulve or Huston Street. The inside corner of the plate is not THAT far from the batters box, and body parts don't even always stay in the batter's box.
