Sometimes life jumps up and makes our games less important. And sometimes something happens with the games themselves that is simply tragic, and horrifying.
↵Atlanta Braves' Class A manager Luis Salazar was hit by a baseball off the bat of Brian McCann on March 9 during a spring training game, and unfortunately, Salazar has lost his left eye.
↵The full details can be found in this story from Yahoo! Sports.
↵Salazar is supposed to be able to return to his managerial duties with Class A Lynchburg in the Carolina League. Let us hope that that is the case, and that Salazar will fare as well as he can in the situation.
↵We Clevelanders have our own bitter memories of players hurt (Herb Score) or killed (Ray Chapman) by a baseball -- best wishes, Luis Salazar
