Yeah, I saw that headline last night, too. You know, for as much crap as we are dished in the media, I'm glad that this got the attention it got. It's recognition that umpires work hard to get to that level, and that they're an important part of the game.

I hope that Mr. Danley has a speedy recovery.

Here's an updated story from the AP, as of Sunday morning. Danley's fine: he lost consciousness briefly but was awake and alert when they put him in the ambulance.

I wonder about that catcher, though. Looks like he brought his glove up WAY too late. He sure looked like he felt like a schmuck to let it happen.

I suspect the pitcher crossed him up.

My intorduction to men's majors saw a catcher & pitcher who had not worked together before. In the first or second inning, the catcher called for an outside drop, the pitcher threw an inside riser - that I caught between my arm and body. The catcher was as apolgetic as a person could be - and the pitch had definitely passe dthrough the strike zone. When I balled it, the catcher told the pitcher "That's on me." They met and I wasn't touched for the rest of their games that weekend.

Last year, I took a foul squarely off the mask in a college game. After a couple of minute delay, the game continued. In reviewing the game - and I try to do that with every game, I realized that I had lost a couple of innings. I probably had some kind of a mild concussion. But I have not been knocked out since those days when I foolishly thought I was a pro fighter.

Amazing what a little ball can do. I had an F6 fire a shot to F3 to retire the BR, but the throw was off. F3 couldn't even touch it, and the poor BR got clocked in the noggin. Fortunately, a number of the players were trained emergency personnel, and they recognized right away the seriousness of the impact. Never underestimate the seriousness of a head injury, no matter how "routine" things seem.
