But more troubling is that this is, what, the 7th guy to go down this year with head/neck issues? I read an article not too long ago (I think I picked it up here) that spoke about an unusually high number of guys getting nailed with foul ball this year. I know most of us have had our share of injuries, but has anybody taken a blow to the head that was a long-term problem?

This year I've had less foul balls to the head than the past two years. however took my first one to the throat this year, hit right below the angle of my jaw on the rt side. Very painful, may have scared me more than anything.

Good find! I was looking for a pic and came up empty.
I recall a thread somewhere about the incidence of concussion with the nu-view.
