Luis Salazar lost his left eye this month after being struck by a foul ball while standing along the railing in the Braves dugout. The Braves spring training coach and minor league manager fell backwards and hit his head. He underwent three surgeries and eventually had to have his eye removed.
Salazar feels fortunate. He's glad he's still among us.
"I'm very fortunate to be alive. God gave me a second chance in this life, and I'm going to take advantage of it."
He also told the player who hit the unfortunate foul ball, Brian McCann, to "move on and forget the incident."
Salazar is looking forward to managing the Braves Class A team in Lynchburg. With his attitude and outlook, he'll be successful and an inspiration to his club.
I admire Luis Salazar and may his recovery continue and his attitude stay the same.
