VIDEO: Skydiver Takes Out Baseball Player

Thursday, 25 July 2013 | by Pat's Picks

A skydiver unwittingly ended the season for a 20-year-old shortstop when he parachuted onto the field in Hannibal, Missouri, kicking Mattingly Romanin in the face as he did so.  The second of three parachuters organized as part of the pre-game entertainment, he lost control before landed squarely on the young shortstop.  (Romanin’s response:  “Wow, really? That just happened?)  Romanin, who is part of a summer league organized to woo college scouts, took the bizarre accident in stride, says the Kansas City Star. He stood up and played all nine innings before realizing he had a serious concussion.
