This type of accident tends to become more common with kids playing baseball as Christmas approaches. They are sometimes warned, “You, batter, watch out.”
Reminiscent of an old joke. A rough, hard drinking baseball umpire was unhappy because his young son wouldn’t show him any affection, and try as he may, he couldn’t coax him to sit on his lap and talk to him. The moral is… wait for it… the son never sits on the brutish umpire. Ya gotta love such PUNny jokes.

How would you rule that ump? If the batter was in the wrong, was the Catcher in the Rye?

I used to umpire. I was felled by a ball off of the bat and I wasn’t even roaming (and I had a cup on).
