Josh Beckett was standing in the outfield when he was accidentally hit the head with a baseball off the bat of a team staffer. The Boston Red Sox picture didn’t have to go to the hospital but he was sent home with symptoms of a concussion. Even though the Red Sox don’t believe Beckett’s injury is severe, they will conduct further tests tomorrow.

Said Terry Francona, manager of the Red Sox: “I believe it hit him in the temple. I bet you it felt like a bolt of lightning. That’s not genuinely what you’re expecting. It’s just a fluke factor.”

Ino Guerrero is the staffer who hit the ball that hit Beckett in the head. Francona wasn’t too happy with Guerrero, whose principal duty is as a batting practice pitcher.

“I known as him a dumb !@#$ ,” said Francona when asked what he told Guerrero right after the incident.

Beckett is coming off of a hard campaign that saw his ERA balloon to 5.78. If the Red Sox have a legit chance of winning the 2011 World Series, they want their could-be ace to pitch much far better this year.
