Ouch Files: SI Photographer beaned with a pitch

This can't be a good omen for the rest of the season:

New York Mets pitcher Oliver Perez hit a Sports Illustrated photographer on
a leg with one of his warmup pitches. His control improved, his results did
not.

"I got hit pretty good," said the photographer, John Iacono, who was
shooting from near the backstop before the game. "At the last minute, I saw it
coming. I turned my left leg just enough so I didn't get it head on."
