KISSIMMEE, FLA.—Atlanta Braves minor-league manager Luis Salazar has lost an eye after he was struck in the face by a line drive while watching a spring-training game.

Braves general manager Frank Wren said Wednesday doctors were unable to save Salazar's left eye after the accident March 9. The former major league player is otherwise recovering from his injuries and expects to manage single-A Lynchburg this season.

I would never wish an eye injury on anyone, but if a braves minor league manager needed to lose an eye. it would be been better if it had been this guy.

his tirades on the field, while wearing an eye patch would be even MORE awesome.

We don't they put netting in front of the dugouts like they do for hockey to stop errant pucks in the stands? If I remember right there is netting behind the home plate so we don't they put some in front of the dugouts?

Real Americans only need one eye.

Pavy, used to be able to shoot out one eye of an animal from 500 yards away, with his rifle.

now he does it to Mrs. Pavy, from 1 foot away......with his gun

At least he wasn't a cop.

I mean, a one-eyed minor league manager has it bad enough without being berated by Canadians with pubic hair fetishes.

I was "berating" him before I found out he was a cop. It was all in fun, but it will now cease.
