Thursday night, my son gets hurt in a collision at the plate in a game for his travel team (he was safe though.) Sunday his (right) wrist is still hurting a little, but he wants to play for his rec team. Usually he pitches three innings for them, but this day he's in too much pain after the first inning -- the weight of his glove on his hand is killing him. Coach sends him out to the outfield, where he puts his glove on the ground and sees no action. At the plate, all he can do is bunt, and his second time up, he bunts the third strike foul.
So it's the 6th inning, bases loaded, he comes up. They're screaming "Watch the bunt," and we are losing by a lot. The pitch comes in, he swings away -- a line drive over the center fielder's head. Grand slam homerun. Not enough to win the game, but enough to puff him up a little.
The punch line is, I took him to the doctor the next day, and we find out the arm is broken in two places. The coach gave us the score sheet so he can always remember the day he hit a grand slam with a broken arm.
