i was hit with a thrown bat while catching a high school game. Tore my Achilles tendon, sidelined for the rest of the season. It's rare but it does happen.
I was coaching 1st base last week. I have a spacey player, who went up to bat. The previous hitter's bat was laying there, so "Spacey" picked it up and threw it 60 feet, toward our dugout.
Not good.
