Thank goodness George Kirby was OK.
Because this could have been much, much worse for the Seattle Mariners pitcher.
On Tuesday, Kirby was on the mound and perhaps calling for another ball to throw from umpires, when something came out of nowhere and hit him in his abdomen. It turned out it was … another baseball? Thrown by someone in the crowd? And this was at T-Mobile Park, the Mariners’ own stadium.
Who would do something like that?
Like I said, it could have been so much worse and injured Kirby. Thank goodness he wasn’t hit in the face.
Here’s the video:

And here’s the thrower getting escorted out:
