But, I am seeing things last year and this year that is making me a bit uncomfortable. One of my teams pitchers beaned someone in the head resulting in multiple facial factures but hopefully no eye injury. It brought me back to the day, before helmets were required, when Tony Conigliaro got beaned in the face and it changed his career and life forever.

This week it was a clean tho ugly play at the plate resulting in a broken leg and torn ligaments for Buster Posey.

It upsets me when people get hurt like this.

I remember Tony C's injury, it was horrific.

Whoa- didn't know that was intentional! That was horrific and just wrong- that player was hurt badly.

It wasnt intentional. It was an up and in pitch that got away. Tony suffered
a facial fracture, dislocated jaw and retina damage.

The pitcher Jack Hamilton of the Angels was never the same either. After the incident, he was unwilling to pitch inside anymore. As a result he became a much less effective pitcher. He retired 2 years later.

Thanks- I didn't know these facts.

Is it possible to change "your" team?

Would you change "your" team for a partner?

What if "your" team and your partner's team are diametrically opposed???

What if "your" team sucks and your partner's is always in the headlines...in a good way?

HELP! I need answers!

What if "your" team and your partner's team are diametrically opposed??? Obviously, my partner would need to compromise. LOL

What if "your" team sucks and your partner's is always in the headlines...in a good way? I am a Red Sox fan. Win or lose, they are always in the headlines. Partner would adjust.
