Last night...Slightly buzzed, awake for 17 hours, in the late innings of our AAA team, and sitting with my feet on top of the dugout on the 1st base side.....all having a great time....
CRACK
The sound triggered me...back of my mind all night after the Fenway accident...I see the bat a second after I stood up..coming straight at us...my only thought was to protect my kids And those around me...that and this thing may pierce my chest if I don't react well. BAT BAT BAT I yelled. Managed to deflect it away w my hands almost catching it actually. Hands swollen....adrenaline crash was intense...but everyone OK. I've seen well over 100 games live and never been so close to one of them flying. Never even have caught a foul ball.
Glad I'm a ninja...that was freaking scary.
