Today, I was pitching at a fastpitch softball game. The other team chanted about the ball being too high and almost hitting the batter in the eye. After throwing the next pitch, the ball was savagely returned by the batter, straight into my eyes. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I had a soccer game. A player from the other team hit me in the face. In the next half, she was the goalie and I was determined to score on her. When I finally got my chance to, everyone cheered, until I kicked the ball into the goal post and it bounced back and hit me in the face. FML
Today, I was at a professional tennis match. The ball was hit extremely hard, resulting in it going into the crowd. And when I say crowd, I mean my face. FML
Today, I was playing tetherball with my younger brother. I get really competitive, so I threw it as hard as I could. It came around and hit me in the face. FML
Today, at my softball game, there was one spot left for center field. The coach had to choose between me or the girl who forgot her glasses and was blind without them. He chose her. FML
Today, I started playing softball again in a league after not playing for about 5 years. My very first time at the bat I whacked a foul ball into the parking lot and hit my own car. FML
Today, I was trying out for a position as pitcher for my college baseball team. I threw the ball as hard as I could, and then collapsed to the ground in agony from a dislocated shoulder. FML
Today, I was playing one on one soccer with a girl like. I accidentally kicked the ball right into her face. The ball rolled back towards me and as I was running to see if she was ok, I kicked the ball… right into her face again. FML
Today, I was playing ball with my student during recess. My first attempt at throwing the ball hit him in the head. My second attempt hit him in the crotch. FML
Today, it was my first day of softball practice. I'm the youngest one on the team by about 2 years, so I wanted to prove I'm just as good as everyone else. Too bad I tripped in the outfield and got hit in the head with a bat. I have a concussion. FML
Today, I got hit in the face at a dodge-ball tournament. My entire mouth was bloody. The sad thing is, I wasn't even playing. FML

An eye for an eye.

I thought you were trained to keep your eye on the ball, not the other way around.

This sounds like it would happen to my friend.

My friend got hit in the face in the same way, but he broke his nose. I assume it could have been worse for you.

OP here... It shattered the bones on one side of my face. I had to have facial reconstruction done. But in a way, I was lucky. They said the bone just missed my brain. So you're right; it could've been worse.

There aren't penalties for things like that in softball. About the only things you can't do is start a fight and mouth off to the umpire. Then you get ejected. Plus some people can't control where they hit.

That's like going for a block in basketball and breaking a finger. It wasn't the other persons fault so they can't do anything about it

A penalty, really?! You cant penalize the girl for hitting it hard! There is nothing that happens they keep going with the play until it has stopped.
Angelrose2004 17
Well, I can say I lived to tell my story. lol. But seriously, I'm ok now. It's sweet of you to ask though! :)

All I can think is OUCH!!

Dang! I know that hurts. I pitch too, and some hits come back at almost 100 MPH. I'm sorry, OP, but at least you'll have nice bruises and possibly broken bones. Oh, and a good story.

WHAT?! Next you're going to tell me footballs aren't feet...
Angelrose2004 17
Unfortunately, I learned that the hard way.

Except 50, if you where op you would know they weren't soft, because you would be a pitcher.

Should have ducked!

Since its fast pitch the speed of the ball is already pretty fast then add a really hard solid hit you don't have much time to react with how fast the ball is going
