That's Red Sox prospect Jacoby Ellsbury Jeff Corsaletti getting whacked in the head earlier this month by catcher Frank Pesanello Caleb Ginsberg, a catcher for Northeastern University who just collected the last bit of empirical evidence needed to complete his thesis, titled "Batting Helmet Ear Flaps: Friend or Foe?"

Update: It's the video that's funny, not my writing, right? Good thing, because apparently I originally botched both the names of both players involved. According to commenter Mike down below:
I play on Northeastern's baseball team and was in the dugout for this game ... its Caleb Ginsberg catching and Jeff Corsaletti at the plate getting plunked in the head.
I'm giving Mike the benefit of the doubt on this one, especially given his Northeastern email address. Thanks for the correction!
