->> That frame is a future Sportsshooter annual photo contest winner for sure. Also good to read, in the comment section, that the fan is doing well.

->> It APPEARS he actually is trying to catch the bat, although I can't be certain. If he is....wow, gutsy.
Good shot, Chuck.

->> ouch 60 stiches, I like that he posted a comment thanking everyone.

"I'm happy to say that after 60 sutures at Metro Health Medical Center, I'm doing fine, but I look like a boxer who just got knocked out! Many thanks to the fans nearby, the first aid staff at Progressive Field, the EMT's, and the staff of the emergency room at Metro, especially plastic surgeon, Dr. Romero, for their concerns and treatment. Go Tribe! "

->> I was sitting about 10 rows behind him, guarantee he was trying to protect himself not catch it. That bat came in quick, he was sitting 3 rows from the field. It happened really fast.

I have had the pleasure to shoot with Chuck for the past 5 years, great shooter and great guy.

->> I noticed he has some kind of "credential" holder around his neck, which no one else seems to have on. Anyone know what the story is on that?

->> My guess is it is a holder to put his ticket in. That way his ticket doesn't get lost or crushed and is always handy when the usher asks for it.

Looks like a season ticket holder lanyard. They have them here in TB and they look just like the one he is wearing.
