Lex thanks for your concern. Usually I can get up after a few moments and continue playing, not today. After hours in the hospital, and several shots of pain medication, x-rays and CT scans showed no broken bones, unfortunately soft tissue damage is quite extensive and an orthopedic appointment will determine just how much time I will spend on crutches and hopefully away from the OR. Like I say to myself play hard, play hurt if you must but always give your all to this great game.

Don - all the best buddy! Yesterday's collision was scary and in hindsight could have been worse. See you on the fields.

Sorry to hear about your injury, Don. Hoping your recovery is speedy and that we'll see you behind the plate next season.

Don Wixon is a baseball lifer,and I have never teed it up against anyone who plays a tougher,smarter game than the real "Donnie Baseball".I've had deep tissue contusions and sometimes felt would of been better off with a break.
That being said,
I remember a trip to Dons house back when this league first was getting off the ground.Little bbq,some suds,and some laughs. I happened to meander my way into one of the wings off the main house. Dusty,a little damp,and definitely darker than you feel comfortable with.As I wandered through a few rooms,I saw a long,tall cabinet,finished in fine teak.
As I was about to open this piece,I heard a voice ask if I was looking for anything.HE had appeared behind me,and I was thunderstruck. I mumbled something about appreciating antiques. He told me well,might as well have a look. As Don opened the doors,the low light in the room immediately glanced off silver pieces of varying length and size,all connected to leather by rivets. This was a collection of strap on braces the likes of which normal people will not soon see. Don closed the cabinet quietly and looked into my eyes,telling me to please keep his secret safe.
No more great warrior!
Your story from henceforth shall be told far and wide,around every dugout and cooler session held.
Hail Maximus!

About a dozen notes here, Don, and easily twenty times that number echoing support behind them. Add my voice. Heal fast, my catcher. -Mike

Don - The game wouldn't be the same if you didn't hit the ground at least once. And it wouldn't be the same if you didn't get back up and dust yourself off!

Looking forward to seeing you back behind the plate.

The "other" Donny Baseball!

Don, I know if you came out of a game it had to be serious. Get well soon and see you at the next game. Vince.

Don

Just saw this! I hope that you heal up soon! I need to check, but I'm hoping I won the over/under on the "Wixon Hitting The Ground" pool!
Need you around - You're a good man.

Ray
