There's been lots of talk about the Astros players being hit by pitches this season. In fact, it happened to Alex Bregman yesterday during the spring training game with the Mets.
Getting beaned by a baseball is a pretty serious issue.
Remember when Astros shortstop Dickie Thon got hit by a pitch (by the Mets) in the Astrodome? It changed his career forever.
Watch this short documentary....
Dickie said getting traded to the Astros was the "best thing that ever happened" to him....but he was never the same after that one pitch.
I'm so glad he was able to find more success in the league after that horrible injury.
As I was watching the beginning of this documentary, where he talks about having to play baseball by himself, I was reminded of the story Jose Altuve shared HERE.
The current Astros batters will surely be hit by lots of pitches this season, but I hope none of the players get seriously hurt
GO ASTROS!
