Anyone else ever get hit with a baseball while attending a game?

So I was at a minor league game today. The hitter knocked the ball out, it hit the roof of the concession stand above me, bounced right off, and popped me right in the back. I could hear everyone go "Ooooh!" in shock.

...I no selled the hell out of it.

It really and honestly didn't hurt at all. I wasn't even bruised. The speed of it slowed down, so that helped some. I laughed about it, which seem to calm the shocked crowd down, and they began to laugh too when they saw me laughing about it, and I gave them all a wave to confirm I was fine, and loudly said "Thank you".( Looking back, I should have really milked it, and stood up, and taken a bow.) Some older guy who worked there came over to see if I was alright, and I told him I was fine, and he seem relived.

......I was honestly more disturbed by the fact that all those people looked at me.

I've done stage and film acting before, and it seems no matter where I go, the theater gods put me at the center of attention!

Anyhow, anyone else ever become just another victim to a baseball?
