Ever get hit with a 90 mph fastball?
Not trying to be a wise guy, since I only played softball and whiffe ball....just wondering how you would rate it compared to the soccer ball or a hockey puck/stick/skate?
I would think that getting hit by a Rafael Nidal first serve would smart a bit too!

I have. Right in the elbow. Very painful.

I respect the fact that you are not being a wiseguy. The thing is that getting hit by a fastball is an exception to the rule and maybe happens a few times in a season. In soccer, the ball is rock hard and coming with tremendous velocity (you can only tell when playing). And it’s expected many times in a game that you are to intentionally strike it with your head. And you are most often going up against opposing players body to body and head to head and often clashing bone on bone.
And many people don’t know that checking is allowed in soccer as long as you are playing the ball. There are many very hard hits. And again, they are bone on bone with no pads.
