Comments on: Be Careful What You Wish For… http://www.hartsman.com/2007/09/12/be-careful-what-you-wish-for/ Thoughts on MMOs, gaming, social spaces, development, and whatever else interests me in a day.

I learned that lesson by taking a baseball to the face on the pitcher's mound, not hit by another young player, but the COACH! (DOH!) Sorry you also had to learn the hard way! =) Cheers, Nick At some point early on in the process of graduating from little league to middle school baseball (so very long ago), I discovered that throwing around the equivalent of a round bone-breaking device, or rather being in the direct path of said object, was not a very good idea for someone like me.

My first game near the end I wasn't paying attention and the guy hit the ball straight back at me, broke my nose, my eye was swollen shut for a few days. And i didn't play again after that...

I may not be able to sign my name (left), but I can use a mouse (right), so I'll still count it as a relative victory! Thanks :)

My drop was better than yours! The braces extend to the elbow and I start physical therapy for five weeks this week. Thumb injuries are the worst. You have my sympathies. It's a long road back to recovery. Hah! My drop was better than yours! The braces extend to the elbow and I start physical therapy for five weeks this week.

Most braces only have two straps. What are the stats on that thing?? Seriously, sucks to get injured. Hope you recover quickly (or hey..maybe this is your chance to retire with that perfect record??). Wow…that’s rare drop I think. Most braces only have two straps. What are the stats on that thing??
