So I am behind the plate last night for a LL Juniors game, two teams that I have seen a number of times and figured I was going to get a decent game. Well that went out the window when the HT pitcher couldn't find the strike zone and the top of the first took about 40 minutes. So what happened a couple of innings later shouldn't have surprised me. I had a catcher whiff on a pitch that bounced straight back off of the backstop and caught me right in the ear! Hurt like hell and ear was ringing for the rest of the game but seems ok today, never been hit there before in 20+ years!
