Baseballs Win Yet Another Battle in Their Never-Ending War Against Faces

by Chris Mottram • Jul 3, 2008 9:45 AM EDT

I think the Padres Michael Barrett might need to be fitted for one of those Little League style helmets after this little oopsy-daisy last night:

If you stuck around until the end there, you heard the play-by-play guy say, “This is a tough guy – Michael Barrett – and I’ll tell ya what, it would not shock me if he stayed in the game.” Well, that announcer was totally right! Barrett did stay in the game ‘cause he’s the most badass player evar!

Just kidding. Contrary to what that announcer seems to think, Barrett's face is not made of titanium alloy. He left the game with a broken nose.

When I was little, I used to love how Don Baylor would just stand there like a cigar store Indian and let those fastballs bounce off his hulking flank.
