Umpire C.B. Bucknor was forced to leave the game in the second inning between the Rays and Brewers when he was hit directly in the mask by a foul ball:
Bucknor, 63, is being evaluated for a concussion. There has been no update from Major League Baseball.
My take: I have a lot of fun at Bucknor's expense, and having him behind the plate on April Fool's Day was a beautiful coincidence, but I never want to see anyone injured and here's hoping he makes a full and speedy recovery.
