Bat to the Head

Brad had double-header softball games yesterday.  They were later games, so we didn't come to watch.  When he walked in to the house at 10:15 pm, he held a bag of ice up to his head.  After we cleaned him up, this is what we saw.  He was the catcher for these games and on the very last play of the game, the batter threw the bat behind him as he ran to first base.  Unfortunately it slammed Brad in the face.  His glasses were bent, but luckily not broken.

 Luckily he didn't need stitches or have a serious concussion, but he had quite the headache, of course.  This photo doesn't do it justice, but you can kind of see the shiner was sporting the next morning.

Brad's been such a good sport about it, but I think he'd rather not play catcher next week.

Update: These photos were taken two days later and show off his "smokey eye"... and he did play catcher the next week/

I have to add this one too, just because Brad is so handsome!
