Don't wanna ride this 356 again!

#1 Post by John Weyand »

Last evening Nancy and I attended the minor league baseball game in Akron between the Akron Rubber Ducks and the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. Somewhere in the 3rd or 4th inning the left handed batter drove a hard liner into the third base side seats that caught Nancy in the forehead and the palm of her right hand-blocking some of the impact. We then got a ride in the "356" per the attached photos.
Today she's left with a very discolored eye and sore hand (lots of bruising) but no other damage. I'm not sure what element of destiny controlled the vehicle in which we left the stadium.

Good thing she put her hand up to block. Prayers for a full recovery.

Did you receive a discolored eye for taking these pictures?

No issues with the ambulance crew over the photos. The driver thought the humor in the number was interesting. BUT, you'll notice there are no photos of the injured wife--and I'm told THERE WILL BE NONE! Her recovery will be simply getting back to normal color around the eye--no other issues.

I wasn't thinking of the ambulance crew. More your wife thinking "I got beaned and you're thinking of 356's?"

Glad she'll be OK.

Bruce, that is a lesson many of us haven't learned yet. Including me. I'd tell my story, but I'm fearful one of you might squeal on me.
