MLB '10

Based on the local recent example of a high school pitcher put into a coma similarly, I expect there'll now be demands that MLB outlaw aluminum bats.

But that would take away from the sanctity of the game!

I think Matt Kemp pawned his gold glove to pay for hitting lessons. A calculated gamble on his part, trying to turn himself into a top-level power hitter, but it definitely seems to have cost him a step fielding. Don't know if it's a result of just different physical training, or different focus, but yikes.

After that video, then seeing Blake DeWitt take a bullet to the leg, I foresee a not too distant future with pitchers wearing SOME form of head protection. Even if it's not much more than a super-padded cap,
