Well I *DID* have several modeling contracts lined up, but this put a wrench in those plans ;)

Thanks for all of the messages- Just feeling extremely lucky, and also like I’ll never throw side flips again for the rest of eternity

This is why you have to life your life in a way that you’re okay leaving it at any moment. Not a minute to waste being, thinking or playing small.

When they say keep your eye on the ball, this isn’t what they meant.

Don Zimmer took a broken bat segment in the neck in the early 80's while coaching third base.

Considered me not shocked to see the first woman to work as a full-time manager of a major league-affiliated team to also be the first manager ever hit in the eye with a ball.

It has actually happened quite a few times over the years. One of the worst I remember was a Braves minor league coach getting hit so bad they had to remove the eye.
