If you needed evidence that baseball players were thick-headed, then Texas Rangers pitcher Dustin Nippert would like to show you something. Nippert spent the better part of Monday night enjoying a terrific headache after getting blasted in the side of the head by a line drive. But check it out, the ball flies right into the outfield! Somebody needs to check Nippert’s head for cork.

It’s not cork. I’m thinking more along the lines of a Cousin Eddie steel plate the way that the ball took off upon contact.
That’s how real men deal. They don’t roll around screaming like football players or flop like soccer bitches.
Baseball: The sport for REAL men.
Speaking as an Englishman, this is why I love American sports far more than football. Dude must have a head like a ball-bearing.
That was an inch away from killing him. In more serious matters, let’s hope he was wearing a condom… Playing in Detroit is dangerous, you know, on account of the AIDs.
Ray Chapman is not impressed.
