MLB Concussions

Yesterday Milwaukee Brewer's Erick Almonte became the first MLB player to be put on the 7-Day Disabled List.  This special 7-day DL was set up for anyone who suffers a concussion at any point.  Unfortunately for Almonte, his came during batting practice where he got hit in the head with a ball that was thrown to third.  After spending a few minutes on the field, he finally got up and walked to the club house.  I think this is a great time to show that the 7-day DL was a great idea.  With concussions becoming a huge deal in all sports, this is a great way for the MLB to show that they have this situation under control.  According to reports, everything is going planned with Almonte and he is scheduled to return to the field in 5-7 days.
