I was in little league, and my eyeball bruise was quite funny if it had not hurt so bad. There was another old baseball diamond overlapping our outfield, and as the line drive came down and I ran up on it, I heard a very foriegn "knock" sound. It had hit directly on one of those old masonite baseplates almost grown over in the grass!
I had time to think "oh no" as the ball came right up over my glove into my eye.
