What, were you smoking bong hits with Barack and Phelps before the game?

I've been hit three times:

1st time: Varsity game with Tony Clark hitting a rocket into my right foot so fast I couldn't even blink, much less move. I was in shallow C at the time. He always seemed like he was aiming at me, or I had a ball magnet on me when he batted.

2nd time: Senior LL game when a line drive ricocheted off the side of a very tall, non-regulation height pitcher's mound and caught me while I was moving in toward the mound.

3rd time: Feeding pitching machine in a Pinto game with a very strong hitter (the one that every team seems to have one of) who hit a rocket that hit me in the stomach. That didn't feel good.

3 times in over 3,000 games. That's not too bad. I'm usually quite spry and can avoid getting hit.
