Nats owner injured -- shagging flies before the game.

Mark Lerner took a ball to the face while shagging flies before the game with the Mets. My first reaction was "Goofball. It's not a fantasy camp." But the more I thought about it, I thought it was kind of cool. If I owned a team and could get away with it, I'd try it, too.

I'd do it too. Big deal. If it was the GM, or something, that's different. But the guy just writes the checks really, and while I guess players may feel like they have to 'perform' with the owner standing next to them, if he's actually out there, you have to assume the guys realize he's not out there trying to catch them slacking off, he's just having a good time. I'd take BP too.

Anytime a really rich guy gets hit in the face with a baseball I'm all for it.

I would take a fly to the face for the ministrations of an in-her-prime Julie Christie.

In Britain, "shagging flies" would mean having sex with flying insects.
