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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

An eye for an eye.

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

It's okay OP, I got hit with a line drive right in the nose when I was about 12. Blackened both eyes and busted my nose. It happens to the best of us. Just know that it's a 1 in a million chance of it happening, and it'll probably never happen again :) I hope you keep playing.

First of all it's called a mitt, they are actually very helpful. Secondly, you should have struck that bitch out!

They have masks for defensive people now. The corners and pitcher wear them the most.

Actually, they make face masks for all defenders now. One specific brand is Rip-It.

That happened to me once, except I was in my front yard, with my grandma as the batter. She hit me in the nose and gave me my first nosebleed. To make matters worse, the ball was plastic.

That sucks, #107...and no offense but I couldn't help but chuckle just because of the word "grandma". LOL.
