Same thing that happened to Colin Moran in Baltimore the night before!

And I've been a baseball fan for 40 years and had never seen it happen once, and it happened twice in 24 hours.

Hays walked off under his own power, so obviously not as serious as Moran.

And it wasn't that long ago that a foul ball hit the ground and bounced back to hit Smith in the head. Not sure where (eye or cheek). Wasn't that just weeks ago?

Oh wow. That's bad. Sure hope he will be okay.

Moran left Camden Yards on a stretcher vehicle and is on the DL.

Hays at least was under his own power.

Think so. He walked off to the club house. They said just stitches. I think it caught the bill of the helmet and his temple, so the helmet absorbed some of the force.

Tejada is respectable at the plate.

It was earlier this season. Didn't come directly off the bat into the head though.

Red Sox and Cubs included Gary?  They haven't been elite.

I don't now, I recall it.

I was at a Nats game last year when that happened to Hunter Pence.   A visible knot formed on his head.   He stayed in the game.

I think Smith stayed in the game initially, too, but left it at some point later?

Any word on how he's doing?

[eddie83]

I swear that hit a pebble.

Correct. Just commenting on balls hitting guys in head while fouling in general. 

[Chavez Ravine]

Joey keeps the legend alive.

I haven't heard anything.

He is BJ Surhoff's nephew, BTW.

Facial fracture. On the DL.
