Umpire hit by line drive during Indians-Reds game (Video)

Third-base umpire Brad Myers was drilled in the groin area on a line drive hit by Brandon Phillips during the second inning of Monday's spring-training game between the Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds.Myers, a base umpire on a rotating three-man crew, was hit hard behind the pitcher's mound in the second inning. The ball, hit by Cincinnati's Brandon Phillips, struck the umpire in the groin area. He was down for several minutes before he left on a cart driven by Reds trainer Tomas Vera. Myers was in a sitting position on the cart.While there's something about a man getting hit in his most sensitive of areas that's inherently funny (if it's not you, of course), the scene on the field Monday was also pretty scary. Myers was on the ground for several minutes. He got up and tipped his hat to the crowd, but was ultimately was carted off the field for a medical inspection.
