Catching a baseball hit at pace off the bat takes a great amount of skill, so you would have thought that something a little larger might be a bit easier.<\/p>\n
However, one unfortunate player in Missouri could do with working on his technique after he was knocked out by a falling skydiver.<\/p>\n
The aerial performer was landing to deliver the first pitch ahead of a game between Hannibal Cavemen and the Terre Haute Rex when he botched up his approach and collided with shortstop Mattingly Romanin.<\/p>\n
Team doctors rushed onto the pitch to aid the baseball player, as the skydiver got up from the ground seemingly uninjured after his interrupted descent.<\/p>\n
Romanin later took to Twitter to joke about incident, telling his followers: "I feel like I got kicked in the face yesterday, oh wait…"<\/p>\n
