THIRD BASE UMPIRE isn’t the most dangerous place to be on a baseball field but try telling that to Brad Myers after he was hit by a line drive during yesterday’s pre-season game between Cincinnati and Cleveland.
The unlucky umpire just didn’t have time to react after Brandon Phillips connected with a pitch and the ball caught him… well, it caught him where it seems he wasn’t wearing a cup.
Though Myers spent 10-minutes receiving treatment, he was finally able to stand and the crowd applauded him off the field of play.
