    Hit By Pitch

    Took this on Sunday. I couldn't find the ball in the picture until I cropped it, and there it was........buried in the guy's left hip. First one of these I've ever gotten. This was cropped and sized for the team's website, so please forgive if it isn't exactly perfect here.

    My thoughts exactly Old Timer. Would have like to see his expression as he was hit.
