Umpire hit by 96 mph fastball....

on the jaw and goes down like a rock

Video....

KE = ~130.5 N/m or ~96.3 ft/lb

Ouch

In 10th grade I took a line drive to the left eye socket while down tying a shoe during practice, so I really feel for the guy. Woke up about 10 minutes later looking through a 10 stitch gash in my eyelid. That really hurt.
