Ten Years Ago This Month …
1-liner, Other College Sports, What the hell is wrong with people April 29th. 2009, 4:00pmNear Death: “It was a very unfortunate situation and we’re lucky Ben Christensen didn’t kill Anthony Molina. (Christensen) hit him in the head with a 92 mph fastball when the guy’s not looking. I don’t think anybody who was there will ever forget about it.€ Happened 10 years ago this month. You should probably read this. “[Christensen] felt Molina was trying to time his pitches so he directed a 92-mph warmup throw at Molina, who was standing 24 feet from home plate. Molina looked up just as the ball arrived, crushing his left eye, destroying his vision, breaking three bones and opening a cut that required 23 stitches.”(Pantagraph)

100 bucks says this is the only time TBL ever links to something from my hometown (and horrible) newspaper. 100 bucks also says that rag goes under within the next two years.

Good luck proving that he had the intent to murder him and not scare the shit out of him.
