I was pitching in a pitch-to-your-own-team coed softball intramural game. I did such a good job at it that I struck out two of my own teammates. They weren't too happy about that.
Two innings later, in a separate (unrelated???) incident, another teammate smacked a line-drive....right into my face. I was knocked out for about a minute, my nose bleeding and my eyes swollen shut. I was taken to the emergency room where x-rays and MRI showed a hairline fracture down my right orbital. I returned to my friends looking like I had just survived one minute in the ring with Mike Tyson.
For 2-3 weeks, I was deathly afraid of any softballs tossed my way.
Oh yeah, and we won the game.
