I doubt this is the first ball she will take to the face this season.

Rachel Balkovec revealed the bruise resulting from her spring training workout injury.

Balkovec — the Yankees’ Low-A affiliate Tampa Tarpons’ manager, and baseball’s first female manager with an affiliated team — was struck in the face by a batted ball during a workout Tuesday, forcing her to miss the Tarpons’ home opener Thursday.

Diversity, inclusion, and equity are being achieved. Sacrifices are necessary.

No male manager has ever been hit in the face by a batted ball in the history of baseball anywhere!

Ok, maybe they have, but I doubt there was an article written about it.

He was probably referring to the orbital bone.

What is the point of this charade? Are they trying to prove that managers aren't necessary in pro baseball?

That sucks, I prefer women stay in softball as much as the next guy but I don’t like that the poor woman got injured….




And yes I’m a biologist I can say that
