For all the people out there who want to know about the Rockies player getting hit in the face by a pitch the other day –
Jeff Baker was hit in the batting helmet and face by a pitch thrown by Jason Marquis of the Chicago Cubs Friday. The batting helmet went flying and Baker was knocked to the ground. After lying on the ground for a minute or two, he was able to stand and walk off the field with assistance. Baker started Friday’s game at first base, while usual first baseman Todd Helton was out with back spasms.
Baker had a mild concussion and was placed on the 15-day disabled list yesterday.
