Don't Try This at Home

Well, this forum is called Mug Shots, and this certainly fits the bill!

SOFTBALL LAST NIGHT -

I was pitching against this 250-pound, six-foot-six giant, see, and he smoked a laser-line drive back at me, smashing into my face before I could react at all. Just like Herb Score in ’57!

Okay. That’s not QUITE true. The batter was actually a 100-pound, five-foot tall girl who dribbled a grounder back to me. As I leaned down to field it, it hit a rock or something and rolled right up my glove and then up my outstretched arm, and smashed me in the nose. It bled for 15 minutes, but the embarrassment was much worse than the pain.

Hey, at least I got a story out of it, and I’m happy to take some bellylaughs at my expense.

Better get out in the woods. MD, chase Bigfoot or molest bears. That is probably safer in the long run. Don't worry though, it didn't spoil your looks...

Best thing is to keep it iced! You have to be a bit careful of those younger ones, they can still do some damage. Hope you get to feeling better.

Thanks, guys. It was just a flesh wound, probably caused by the stitches in the ball scraping off a layer of epidermis. Looks ugly today, but no pain at all. And the damage was to the outside of my nose - no "nosebleed" at all.

OUCH!! That brings back some memories I had in 1st grade or so...
Yeah, same thing... right square in the face!
Still scared of balls thrown my direction to this day!
I did cry a lot, and had a serious nose bleed, but not broken nose... it hurt so bad, I thought it might as well be...
LOL
Sorry, dude...
I feel you

I laughed out loud at that. Sorry, I know your nose must have hurt, just struck me funny though.
