I can't think of a single instance where I've ever heard of a catcher who keeps his head straight getting hit in the side of the neck.[QUOTE]

I had it happen at least once last year. I wouldn't say it was a full blow, but more of a deflection. The ball either hit my neck or the side of the mask and went down to hit me in the back of the shoulder. I don't remember exactly but I think it might have caught a piece of my helmet underneath it directing it downward.
