Baseball injuries of yore

So we are in my husband's hometown after visiting family and we pass a baseball field.  He says, "You see this scar on my hand?  That's where it happened.  I slid into 3rd base and the 3rd baseman stomped on my hand with his cleats (surely not on purpose).  My hand was on the base and I was safe."  However, it took a trip to the hospital where his mother worked for stitches.  He fainted on her office floor- but he told me not to mention that. I made him stop to commemorate.
