"Wright was hit just above the ear hole by a pitch from Cain in the fourth inning, sending his batting helmet flying into the air and the gritty infielder sprawling to the ground. Wright lay there for several minutes before walking off the field with some help from trainers."

And all it took was getting hit in the head by a pitch. At least we now know how one develops grit.

Enjoy the sympathy, everyone, while we we can!

You can't be gritty if Fatcessa thinks you're unclutch
