Joey Bart gets hit by pitch, suffers a fractured thumb

Joey Bart is one of the best prospects in baseball. In fact, the future Giants starting catcher, Rookie of the Year, All-Star, MVP, World Series hero, and Face of Baseball is so good, a fractured left hand from a hit-by-pitch earlier this year barely slowed him down. He raked to close his season at Double-A raking, and he continued raking when he was sent to the AFL, where he just earned a nod to the league’s All-Star game.

Unfortunately, in a scenario that’s becoming all too familiar with Giants fans, it looks like Bart’s magical season has come to a premature close.
