I kid. I actually got very lucky that the above 'mark' is all I managed to get. I was pitching BP, yes from behind a screen, from about 10 feet away. I swear I tried to keep all my body parts behind the screen, really. Down to my last batter - of course - and she blasts a line drive right into my elbow. The pain was sharp and I could taste metal in my mouth and my first thought was, 'my elbow is shattered'. I couldn't move it on its own, so I used my only good arm to work out the pain. It moved ok so I just hopped back in there and finished pitching. Yes, she hit well :-). I must say I was certain I would have a huge egg on my elbow and that the pain would be excruciating. It's neither. But I sure have a nice temporary tattoo.
Roll Thunder!!
