Wait a second, that's not a ball! A skydiver fell from the sky and hit a baseball player in the middle of a game. Now he's done for the rest of the season.
Mattingly Romanin, a sophomore infielder/outfielder from Chicago State University, was playing summer ball for the Hannibal Cavemen, a summer collegiate baseball team is Missouri that compete in the Prospect League, but after a strange event, he won't be playing until further notice. He was knocked out by a skydiver that landed on the field. The incident was caught on video.
Romanin initially took to Twitter to let people know that he was feeling fine, but just a bit sore. Romanin's injuries were more serious than he initially though. He was evaluated by a doctor on Monday and was told that he suffered a concussion and wouldn't be able to complete the season.
Romanin spoke to the Quincy-Herald Whig about his condition and not being able to finish the season
"I still have headaches and stuff like that, and I just feel a little slow," Romanin said during a phone interview Tuesday. "It is unfortunate that it ended my season, and I'm a little upset about that, but you know what, it's just a freak accident and there's nothing we can do now. So I'm still trying to be upbeat it, and I'm still laughing with everybody."
The skydiver was one of three that were supposed to deliver the first pitch of the game. The first skydiver landed without any issues, but the second one landed too quickly and kicked Romanin in the head.
"They told us not to move and they won't hit us... guess not'," Romanin joked on Twitter.
Surprisingly, Romanin was able to finish out the game. The skydiver was not hurt in the incident.
