David Wright was experiencing "post-concussion symptoms"
I'm sure there are douchebags here who are happy to see someone get beaned, but this is NOT funny.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Mets slugger David Wright was released from the hospital Sunday, one day after he was hit in the helmet by a 94 mph fastball from San Francisco's Matt Cain and crumpled to the ground in the batter's box.

Team spokesman Jay Horwitz said the All-Star third baseman was examined by a neurologist Saturday night and again Sunday morning before being sent home. Wright still had a headache and was experiencing "post-concussion symptoms," Horwitz said.

When asked if Wright could miss the rest of the season, New York manager Jerry Manuel said it's "a possibility" depending on how further tests come out. The club had not decided whether to put him on the disabled list before Sunday's game against the Giants.

"I do believe we have to be cautious with this, and we will be," said Manuel, who got a text message from Wright on Sunday morning saying he was OK. "There's no doubt in my mind."

Concussions are a SERIOUS injury, and not something to be made light of.

1. Horrible. And a split second from a full facial hit--
It could have been disastrous.
