Hey, here is a change; a baseball related blogpost! A couple games ago Dewey was playing a really intense game against one of the better teams in the league when disaster stuck! Dewey was playing Shortstop (for those of you who don't know, that is a position in the middle of the infield) when a throw came to him from the pitcher. He was getting ready to catch it when a player from the opposite team (who was on the bases) ran in front of him causing him to lose sight of the ball. Right as the kid ran passed him the ball came right through and slammed Dewey right in the face (WOOHOO!). Dewey, being the tough guy that he is, was ready just to shake it off and keep playing, but then he started spitting blood so the umpire called time so that they could take a closer look at his face. What they saw was pretty gruesome. After a little on-field examination we discovered that the ball had lodged Dewey's braces in his lip and they had to be forcibly removed (Dewey's coach did the honors on that one). When we got the braces out of the way we surveyed the damage.... It wasn't a pretty sight. Here are a couple of pictures to show you what I mean. After we got home and everything was winding down, Dewey came out of the bathroom and was like "Hey mom, I think I lost a tooth". Yes, he had lost a tooth we made the confirmation the next day when we looked at his dental records, thankfully it was a baby tooth. So, yeah, if you ever hear anyone saying baseball is a sissy sport, remember this post.
