UMPIRES BIGGEST NIGHTMARE

KERWIN DANLEY TAKES A DIRECT HIT - 96 MPH FASTBALL TO THE GRILL



The equivalent of a line drive come backer to the pitcher. At least on a foul tip, some of the speed is taken off. This was a direct hit, the catcher totally whiffed on it, looks like he got crossed up, but he bailed on it and let the umpire take it right on the jaw. A 95-MPH fastball would be the rough equivalent of a Mike Tyson right cross to the jaw, or getting kicked by a donkey.

IT'S NO BARGAIN GETTING HIT HERE EITHER - THIS GUY IS A PRO - HE SHAKES IT RIGHT OFF



Of course, I haven't been hit all season so far, but today, I got drilled in the mask (luckily it bounced off the ground, no block by the catcher), took a foul straight back rigt below the elbow and numerous shots to the shins. Darn Freshman catchers.
