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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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

At least you will get on base!
Angelrose2004 17
Only if you consider the hospital a base.
peve3 12
If you're on defense, you don't take the base. She was pitching.

Sometimes it all happens so fast, that you don't have time to react! You'd only know if you where a fast pitch pitcher!

That reminds of when I was playing baseball with my brother and I hit the ball straight towards him and instead of dodging it he ran towards the ball

You missed the "me" between "reminds" and "of". Just saying. #TrollZone#

Maybe if you paid attention instead listening to everyone, you'd do it in a way that you wouldn't get hurt.

getting the ball hit straight back at her isn't OP's fault, the batter just hit the ball at the right time for it to be a line drive to OP's face. also, OP you rock for pitching softball ;D
ImmaB3AST 7
You know, I actually pitch quite a bit for baseball and you would be surprised how fast you react to something like that. Your instincts kick in. I'm actually surprised OP didn't catch it.

Sometimes the ball is faster than your reactions. In softball, we end up standing about 35-38 feet away from home plate, and a ball coming at you at 100+ MPH doesn't give you much time.

72 I just want to point out that college softball just got to 70-80 mph.. So I'm just wondering, where the heck are you playing?
mckibabe 7
Just kidding! Sorry completely read that wrong!
funsizedfreek 4
Do you even know anything about softball? The ball can be hit so fast there isn't even a reaction time. So.

Really? If OP is a girl then finding a coed or girls baseball team is pretty damn difficult in some places.

18- so true! also, fastpitch is waay better than baseball. just sayin'

I watched my sister's 10u team and they could probably beat the varsity baseball team. And they came in 2nd in the state. :/
Ajwc101 24
At least it wasn't a hard ball....That would have hurt more.

Obviously you've never been hit with a softball.

Softballs aren't just cause the name says they are, doesn't mean it's true

ALWAYS protect your McNuggets! Oh and in this case your face too! Lol

You were wondering why the ball's trajectory seemed off...and then it hit you.
