Aaah, ok...
And I thought here that bump skiers were in really good shape

A turn-earner probably threw the ball at your head, wasn't it?

Probably better off staying undercover until the snow falls. The world is a dangerous place for old folk

.

But really, that's pretty scary. Glad you're okay.

Were you called safe at least?

I was just going to ask the same thing.

Glad you're OK (or what might be considered OK for you anyway. )

I played for a couple of years in a co-ed beer ball league in Stowe and I actually was surprised I didn't see more injuries, especially with the amount of beer we drank.

I especially always thought it took a lot of balls to pitch in a slow pitch league given how close the mound was to home plate.

I got a concussion once while riding a three wheeler as a teenager. There was a large partially downed oak tree that I used to duck and ride under probably hundreds of times. To this day I don't know if I just didn't duck enough, or whether it dropped on me. Anyway, wham! All I recall was a loud bang in my helmet. No pain or anything. Somehow I slowly rode back to my house and when I got home, I discovered nobody was there! I guess I made the decision to call 911 myself. I remember the ambulance coming and then I blacked out for probably the next 12 hours. I do not remember the hospital at all to this day. My next memory was my mother waking me up a few times at night. I was exhausted the next day and spent the next three in a bit of a fog. My mom is convinced my math skills started to suffer after that accident.

If he was in the way of were the throw was supposed to go then he would be out for blocking the throw....

I received many concussions as a kid. Hockey and backyard football were brutal.

When I was playing hockey I got hit so hard from behind into the boards that I deformed the shape of my face mask on impact.
