Head SHOTS, Hockey or traditional mask?
mrm21711 had commented on another thread that, "professional umpire Rick Reed was hit in the head with a foul ball and left the game last week. He was replaced by Brian Knight." mrm21711 provided the following link. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slu...v=ap&type=lgns I also saw an umpire take one on the noggin during the late innings of the Cubs-White Sox series in mid-June. Would anyone care to could provide details/commentary/follow-up on either event? Any more PRO Head SHOT stories out there? For some strange reason, I seem to find reading about this subject interesting. Perhaps its my love for baseball, my subconcious fear of the violent nature of that event, and the fact that I find myself entertained by "some other DEER caught in the head lights." Am I normal? PLAY FAIR! LL to NCAA Head SHOT stories are also welcome.

Why do you have some sort of fetish for hearing about guys getting hit in the face with baseballs?

No, that information is not correct, Reed was replaced by Ted Barrett, the second base umpire. Any that is also misquoted. What story would call an MLB umpire a "professional"? The actual story states that "home plate umpire Rick Reed", not "professional umpire Rick Reed" Quote:

Thanks John S. for bailing me out! I am enjoying the new thread. Another wonderful topic full of opinions, errors and omissions. Just as entertaining as last months, and sure to be repeated again next month.
Tactfully, I will trie-y to handle those weird and squeamish quotation marks more accurately. LeftyRef's cap rulez were so bold, i(had)-ta-lic it. "But" that explanation "leftout" an unreported "PRO" substitution. And now, I am too scared to discuss it any further.

Is it just me or does this guy make no sense? What a weird thing to be obsessed with. Head shot stories?

rick reed replacement
dear lefty and mrm
this imfo is incorrect, rick was replaced by brian knight at the time of injury. then brian was replace by chad fairchild. now chad has been replaced by kevin kelly. terry craft is filling in as crew chief and the union is trying some different guys out. just wanted the imfo to be correct before any rumors start.
