NEW YORK -- No stranger to concussions or the lingering symptoms they can elicit, Austin Romine didn't even want to utter the word Sunday morning. Doing so, Romine figured, was unnecessary. There was no reason to name the condition that he and the Yankees believe he luckily avoided.
"It's scary to feel," Romine said, of being struck in the mask by a foul ball in Saturday's win over the Blue Jays. "But it doesn't feel like the other times when I did have a concussion."
A litany of tests run on Romine over the past day, the Yankees say, appear to have confirmed his self-diagnosis.
