The case of a pitcher getting hit by a batted ball that I think is the most famous is Herb Score by Gil McDougald in 1957. It was a bad injury. Score was an outstanding young pitcher up til then, but was only mediocre afterwards.
I think Jerry Coleman was there as a Yankee player. I once wrote him a letter about something he said on a broadcast, and I mentioned the Score incident. He wrote me back, but didn't mention Score.
Carlton was a local legend up here in Maine.... I got to know him very well after he retired...Perfect gentleman...ever so humble...He died a few yrs back...we all miss him...he had some wonderful tales of the “Big League”
