Shouldn't you have been ruled out for interfering with the ball? I guess the umpire probably couldn't see well either.

During little league fielding practice the coach who was hitting balls out for us to catch managed to hit two straight towards me in a row. The first was a pop fly, which I lost track of because the second was a hard grounder, that was bouncing all over the place. While I was concentrating on fielding the grounder the pop fly came down right on top of my head.

My story for the bounty is also from little league baseball. My dad was our coach (he wasn't the coach in the previous story) and he was trying to incentivize someone to make a big hit. He said something like "Anyone who can hit it over the fence gets a burger on me." My best friend, who was also the most talented player on our team, was up next and sure enough he hit the ball over the fence...to the right of the field directly into my dad's truck window. It was the little triangular window on the driver's side that old trucks used to have that sort of swings open. Apparently, those little windows are way more expensive to replace than the much larger window right next to them. After the game, my friend insisted on getting his burger.
