After tonight’s game, I am very much into every ballpark installing on-deck boxes built out of bulletproof glass. They’d be like the compartments on the Popemobile but instead of protecting from assassins (although they wouldn’t not protect from assassins), they would prevent any more humans from being struck by line drives in the noggin. I bring this up because Charlie Blackmon took a line drive off the helmet while he on-deck during an Antonio Senzatela at-bat.

It’s extremely lucky that it hit him in the helmet.
