Check this out, FRiends! Just saw this cartoon on BostonDirtDogs.com, which is a Red Sox fan site. It's referring to Adrian Beltre as a "one-man wrecking ball" . (Beltre is the Red Sox third baseman who unintentionally hit a ball 400ft directly onto my left forearm during BP on 6/11/10.)

The Wrecking Ball

Our Not-So-Secret Weapon

This cartoon is in reference to Beltre's collision with outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury back in April which resulted in several broken ribs for Ellsbury. In June, Beltre also collided with another outfielder, Jeremy Hermida, and now Hermida is on the DL with broken ribs. Beltre is apparently indestructable.

Little does Beltre know (or maybe he does know) that on June 11th he broke yet another bone, although this time it belonged to little ole me, a spectator. Red Sox announcers Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy now joke when Beltre is chasing after a ball and gets close to another player: "Look out, get away from Adrian Beltre!" LOL

If you see Adrian Beltre coming, move out of the way

Adrian Beltre Sends Another Red Sox Outfielder to DL as Jeremy Hermida has Broken Ribs

“Beltre’s going to take out the whole outfield,” (Red Sox Manager) Terry Francona joked, though the similarities between the two injuries are uncanny..."

Did you keep the ball or throw back at him?

I would contend that he intended to hit the ball 400 ft. Your forearm was collateral damage..... ;)

You are famous, GF!

I suspect someone told Beltre about your mishap.

(IMO, he should have called to wish you well.)
