" ... Orest Hryniuk of Stamps had two decidedly different mementos of the year's opening match -- a home run for the first, and a beanball, for the second ... beaned not by the pitcher, but a high fly ball which he lost in a haze of sky at the last second -- said fly ball rebounded off Orest's forehead all the way back to first base from a shallow right field."
