Digestive issues, flying bat shards, managers’ flailing fists — Brian O’Nora always under assault.
Sunday was a rough night for home plate umpire Brian O'Nora. First he was almost decked by an enraged Joe Girardi — though O'Nora does not flinch.
Then he took a slider to the throat later in the game.

This is nothing new for O'Nora. In 2008, his head was cut open by a splintered bat shard.
In 2009, O'Nora took a nasty pitch to the right knee.
