I'm trying to think if there's anything scarier than that," White Sox manager Tony La Russa said, according to MLB.com."A guy gets hit in the head at the plate, but he sees it a little bit. This was so defenseless. So he's the No. 1 concern. I just heard that he's conscious, getting examined. Certainly hope that he caught a break and he's OK.
