Tragedy at a Pro Baseball Game

[Edd S]

I was at the Cardinals/Pirates game on Labor Day in St. Louis. This picture was taken after Xavier Nady was hit on the helmet with a hard fastball. After a few minutes, he walked off the field under his own power.

Thanks for looking.

Man, there have been a lot of people being hit by the ball this year it seems...

Ain't that the truth. Good capture.

That's why they wear helmets......I am sure it hurt, but isn't "Tragedy" just a little over-blown of a description???

Apologies for being misleading by using the word "tragedy." It was a horrific moment to hear the "pop" and see the player fall motionless. Even though he left under his own power, he did leave the game.

I thought this was going to be a capture of Juan Encarnacion getting hit in the head.

That is what I thought too.
