\"\"<\/a>As if walking off the field under his own power didn\u2019t make him seem like a total badass, Logan Morrison<\/strong> proved how tough he really is by starting both games of Monday\u2019s double-header, less than 24 hours after being drilled in the face by teammate Emilio Bonifacio\u2019s foul ball.<\/p>\n

Late last night I reflected on<\/a> what happened to Morrison by invoking my memories of how a similar incident ended the career of Juan Encarnacion in 2007.\u00a0 Thankfully(and surprisingly), Morrison escaped the scary incident without any serious injuries- just a golf ball sized lump beneath his left eye and some serious seam marks.<\/p>\n

Based upon the video replays of Morrison wearing a foul ball to the face, and considering the photo(pictured above) that he posted on Twitter last night, I expected that he might hit the 15-Day DL, or at the least be held out of Monday\u2019s games- I mean come on, the guy took a batted ball to the face!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, I\u2019m pretty sure that Morrison surprised everybody but himself as he took the field to start game of 1 of Monday\u2019s double-header against the Phillies.\u00a0 He played the game as if nothing had even happened and even extended his on-base streak to 26 games with a first inning walk.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s more- he started game 2 of the double-dip and went 1-2 for 2 walks, furthering his consecutive games on-base streak to 27.<\/p>\n

Wow.<\/p>\n

The next time that they are a little sore, players across the league should just remember that Logan Morrison played in a double-header the day after nearly getting his face crushed.
