You can't help but laugh. A.J. Burnett, who was acquired in a trade with the Yankees right before spring training, fouled a bunt off his face. He didn't do this is a spring training game or anything, he did it in batting practice. After it hit him, he put both of his hands on his knees and stood there for a minute in shock, and quite possibly, pain. According to ESPN, Burnett joked around and said, "Where did the bone go?" after the incident.
The Pittsburgh Pirates sent him back to Pittsburgh for further evaluation. They have yet to announce the severity of his injury. Burnett was supposed to be their Opening Day starter. That will not be the case though if he did serious damage to his eye.
