Anne Rogers with a pair of stories about injuries. The first is about Frank Mozzicato’s injury last season:
Frank Mozzicato’s 2023 season can be broken into two parts: Before the collision and after the collision...
On June 2, a day after Mozzicato struck out 10 in five innings for the Fireflies, he was in shallow center field during batting practice on “bucket duty” — standing behind a net collecting baseballs thrown his way and putting them all into a bucket. He heard the crack of a bat and looked up to see a ball high in the air coming near him, so he ventured out to catch it — not realizing shortstop Brennon McNair was also shagging.
