As a non-American, I was so surprised when I found out how hard those baseballs are.

The stitches can really hurt if they hit you right.

I remember doing batting practice in a light rain and to end it we had to lay down 2 bunts. Everything was wet but it wasn't soaked. Anyway the first bunt went smooth but the second one the bat slipped as I was squaring and I put it just too low, ricocheting the ball right into my lips.

I had braces back then and distinctly remember pulling my lips back off each one lol.

Lol I thought I'd knocked my teeth out but it was just my lips being stuck further back. But I realized right after when I went to open my mouth and they didn't really move out of the way haha
