After getting hit by errant first pitch, White Sox photographer comes prepared

There are a lot of ways to achieve 15 minutes of fame. Throwing a first pitch at a photographer’s face and being the photographer hit by said first pitch are certainly two ways to do it.

That’s what happened to Mary Ruich and Darren Georgia on Tuesday. Ruich, a White Sox Stadium Club bar server, threw a first pitch that hit Georgia, the team photographer, right in the camera. When Georgia returned to his post on Wednesday, he came prepared.

After last night's first pitch, the White Sox photographer is taking NO chances. ud83dude02 pic.
