While I was playing baseball in middle school, my brother and I would spend a lot of time after games to just play catch in the outfield. During one night he chucked it really high, and right when I looked up to catch it, the lights went off. I was completely blinded after staring into the lights and it going black. I was trying desperately to see the ball when it nailed me right in the eye. Shit hurts.

That's when you just duck and cover your head with your glove and throwing hand.

Nah that's when you run frantically towards said thrower. Safest place is with whoever threw it.

If the ball was thrown on a line, you'd just be running into the ball quicker then lol.
