'He said you could lose your calf muscle': The wild injury for Jonathan India

In the bottom of the first inning on Thursday at the Field of Dreams game, Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India was hit by a pitch for the 32nd time in his career. At first, he didn't think anything was different about this one.India stayed in the game, and he had no intention to leave what was likely the only game he'd ever play at the historic movie site. A few hours later, he was in a helicopter being airlifted to a hospital in Iowa City to be evaluated for Compartment Syndrome, a serious condition that could have meant serious damage to his calf muscle.
