Jonathan India's experience at the Field of Dreams game nearly turned into a nightmare.
The Cincinnati Reds second baseman took a hit-by-pitch off his leg in the second inning of Thursday's game in Dyersville, Iowa, but didn't initially feel anything unusual. India shook off the intense pain and bruising at first, not wanting to leave the "once in a lifetime" event, and he even took another at-bat.
By the end of the night, India was airlifted to a hospital in nearby Iowa City. His leg had become so swollen that doctors were worried about more permanent damage.
