Sad Story

Terrible story today.
Former big leaguer and current Braves coach and minor league manager Luis Salazar has lost his left eye.
Last Thursday, during a spring training game, Salazar, while watching the game from the dugout, was hit in the face with a line drive off the bat of catcher Brian McCann.
Salazar has undergone three facial surgeries and on the third one they removed his left eye. Other than that the prognosis is good and Salazar plans to return to work next week. He'll manage the Braves Class A team in Lynchburg this season.
Eyesight is a precious gift and thank God he didn't lose sight in both eyes. Still, a horrible story and hopefully Salazar recovers soon, both mentally and physically.
