Read online today where former Rangers pitcher Rick Helling was hurt while pitching for the Milwaukee Brewers’ AAA team. Apparently he was “impaled” by a flying broken bat piece.
While the article I read didn’t give any specifics as to the exact nature of the injury, the word impaled didn’t sound pleasant at all. Haven’t seen anything else on this story other than this article. If I find anything else out about this, I’ll update.
That didn’t take long, found this article which tells some of the details of the injury. Doesn’t sound like it’s terribly bad, but still – ouch!
