Only semi-serious injury I had ( that I remember)was in 7th grade. I was pitching softball and one came off the bat back at me and broke my nose. I don't really remember crying until they told me I had to stay out of the game and couldn't bat...
A little more background to that, it was the second game of a double header. I pitched the first game and a friend was supposed to pitch the second. We begged the coach to stay in our 1st game positions, so when it happened I toled her, that ball was meant for her. About 5 years later she calls me one night to tell me, she had broken her nose playing softball...a misjudged flyball in the outfield. I knew it was meant to be her all along!!!
