Isn’t that much better than a generic title, along the lines of “Softball Player Hit in Head With Ball,” or something similar.  See, what my title does is spice things up a bit, gets the reader’s morbid curiosity aroused, then draws them into the interwoven tapestry that is this article.  And once the reader is in–there’s no getting out.

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way–here’s a video of a softball player getting hit in the head with the ball.  Sorry, despite my cleverly worded title, it’s still just a video of some girl getting hit by a ball.

Not to be sexist or anything, but I never understood co-ed leagues.  There are no sports that I can think of where men compete against women (except for bowling, but is that really a sport?), and it’s painfully obvious from the video, that poor girl who took the ball to the head probably wouldn’t have dropped like a bag of dirt had a girl been playing shortstop.  I’m just saying is all.

One thing’s for sure–slow motion replays of some poor schmuck going down in a heap after taking a softball to the melon never, ever gets old.
