Zambrano Hit by Line Drive

Carlos Zambrano was hit in the face by a line drive yesterday in the fifth inning of what looked like his best performance to date in the Venezuelan Winter League.  He reportedly had some stiches in his lower lip, but from the video it looks like a glancing blow.

What is really remarkable about the incident is that it looks as if he almost caught the ball on the fly and, in any case, made the play to first base.  Rather easily, in fact.

Say what you will about this guy, but he is an amazing athlete.  Maybe he could play first or third base.
