He took his eye off the ball... If he had made the play on the ball, he probably would have been ducked out of the way.

Glad he didn't get hurt, but for what they are getting paid, they can take a few bats flying at them. I bet they have great medical coverage as well.

Lot of good "great medical coverage" does you when you die from being speared in the face by a bat shard. This wasn't a problem until the batters started shaving the bat handles down further and further for higher bat speed.

I hear what you are saying, and was mostly kidding.

It is not like it is only the outfielders shaving their bats to get the infielders.

Sports have inherent risks, and they are more than well compensated for those risks.

I would have scored it as an error! Any idea how it was really scored?

So you're saying that the amount of money an athlete makes is inversely proportional to the acceptable risk of the sport? Now I see why they called Michael Schumacher a huge pussy for wearing seat belts all those years! If a risk can be minimized with a very low detriment to the sport (i.e. minimum bat handle thickness, or let's say stuff like fire suits and belts in motorsports) then by all means, make the rule that keeps people safe. How much money they make is totally irrelevant.

I'm sure it was scored as a hit. The definition of an error is when a player does not complete a play that they should reasonably be expected to complete. I don't think it's reasonable to expect a player to make a play while protecting themselves from a lethal shard of bat.

^That would be the best ride along ever. That car jump was as smooth as you can get.

OK, let me start off by saying this Xterra is only available for purchase by the manliest of men (or women). My friend, if it was possible for a vehicle to sprout chest hair and a five o'clock shadow, this Nissan would look like Tom Selleck. It is just that manly.

It was never intended to drive to northstar mall so you can pick up that adorable shirt at Abercrombie & Fitch that you had your eye on. It wasn't meant to transport you to yoga class or Bath & Body Works. No, that's what your Prius is for. If that's the kind of car you're looking for, then just do us all a favor and stop reading right now. I mean it. Just stop.

This car was engineered by 3rd degree ninja super-warriors in the highest mountains of Japan to serve the needs of the man that cheats death on a daily basis. They didn't even consider superfluous nancy boy amenities like navigation systems (real men don't get lost), heated leather seats (a real man doesn't let anything warm his butt), or On Star (real men don't even know what the hell On Star is).

No, this brute comes with the things us testosterone-fueled super action junkies need. It has a 265 HP engine to outrun the cops. It's got special blood/gore resistant upholstery. It even has a first-aid kit in the back. You know what the first aid kit has in it? A pint of whiskey, a stitch-your-own-wound kit and a hunk of leather to bite down on when you're operating on yourself. The Xterra also has an automatic transmission so if you're being chased by Libyan terrorists, you'll still be able to shoot your machine gun out the window and drive at the same time. It's saved my bacon more than once.

It has room for you and the four hotties you picked up on the way to the gym to blast your pecs and hammer your glutes. There's a tow hitch to pull your 50 caliber anti-Taliban, self cooling machine gun. I also just put in a new windshield to replace the one that got shot out by The Man.
My price on this bad boy is an incredibly low $10,900, but I'll entertain reasonable offers. And by reasonable, I mean don't walk up and tell me you'll give me $5,000 for it. That's liable to earn you a Burmese-roundhouse-sphincter-kick with a follow up three fingered eye-jab. Would it hurt? Hell yeah. Let's just say you won't be the prettiest guy at the Coldplay concert anymore.

There's only 69,000 miles on this four-wheeled hellcat from Planet Kickass. Trust me, it will outlive you and the offspring that will carry your name. It will live on as a monument to your machismo.

Now, go look in the mirror and tell me what you see. If it's a rugged, no holds barred, super brute he-man macho Chuck Norris stunt double, then contact me. I might be out hang-gliding or BASE jumping or just chilling with my ladies, but I'll get back to you. And when I do, we'll talk about a price over a nice glass of Schmidt while we listen to Johnny Cash.

To sweeten the deal a little, I'm throwing in this pair of MC Hammer pants for the man with rippling quads that can't fit into regular pants. Yeah, you heard me. FREE MC Hammer pants.

Rock on.
