Worst Shot You've Ever Taken?

[bkbjones]

Many moons ago in Muleshoe (yes, Muleshoe), TX.

Senior Babe Ruth. Kid is throwin somewhere in the 90s (made it to AAA and all of a sudden - dead arm). Top of 7, 2 outs, me and this kid have a perfect game going. Batter meekly tips one back just over top of catcher's mitt and kablooey.

We needed one more strike to end game and tournament...so I stuck it out...called a muffled strike three. Partner drove me 3 blocks to hospital where they examined and x-rayed and popped jaw back into place.

Still hurts when I yawn too much (only happens during slow pitch games), and it's been 22 years.
