Citi Field bruise
Four days ago, I took a spill during batting practice at Citi Field. I knew it was bad at the time — slamming into a seat is never good — but didn’t think the bruise would end up looking quite like this:
Yes, I have big hairy legs and a tremendous farmer’s tan. Deal with it.

That almost looks like a Doppler radar storm tracker photo. Just saying.
Jeez, that’s a big bruise. I had a bruise that big once from ballhawking. Hope you get better.

Holy Cow!.. Owwwwwwwwwww I’ve never gotten a bad bruise at a game. A bruised ego… yes. Lol But I’ve gotten some bad cuts.
Ooooo, pretty!
Zack, what’s your worst ballhawking injury? Was it when you rolled your ankle last year at Citi Field? I once ran down a hill, fell, scrapped up my knee, and nearly got ran over by a car for a warm-up overthrow that left the park… it was worth it :-)
This is the last time I read your blog while eating dinner.
Ouch!
I want to punch you right on that bruise just to hear what cuss words you would say.
CHARLIE BOWEN-
Ha, nice.
QUINN-
Surprisingly, it doesn’t hurt — not even when I press it hard. Very strange. It just looks bad.
FSPORTSWRITER-
Bruised egos are much worse.
LIZ MERRY-
:-)
PHILIP JOENS-
You’re insane. My worst injury was the sprained ankle last year. The cracked rib in ’08 wasn’t fun, but at least I could still run around. I just had to try not to laugh or sneeze.
GARRETT MEYER-
Ha-ha!
MIKE-
Yep.
LEIGH-
You’re evil.
When I went to games on 5 straight days, after the 5th one, I had a bruise that looked like that on the part of my leg that rubs against the seat when I climb over seats. It didn’t feel too nice.
Climb careful-er!
