Lesson for the day ,children: Hitting yourself in the head with a baseball bat is BAD....

[TZ]

Brian Roberts knocked himself out of the Baltimore Orioles' lineup. Literally.

The veteran second baseman explained Monday that he missed the last six games of the season for concussion-like symptoms after hitting himself in the helmet with a bat.


“
It's a lesson to myself, a lesson to the kids to not do that, no matter how frustrated you are.

”
-- Brian Roberts

Roberts, who missed much of the season with injuries, thinks it happened last Monday, after a ninth-inning strikeout against the Tampa Bay Rays.

"In frustration , I whacked myself on the head with my bat in the ninth. I had my helmet on," Roberts told reporters. "It's something I've done a million times, but I still can't tell you for sure if that was it. But that's the only thing that I can point to because that night and the next morning, I just didn't feel good. So it's been going on since then."

3. Just in case someone didn't learn their lesson from Carlos Quentin

a few years ago when he pissed away a shot at MVP after he broke his wrist by hitting it with his bat.
