Re(5): What was the worst hit you ever seen anyone get hit with the Pelota ?

Jay, Gaydos was not even on the wood when he got hit...

he was about 5-10 feet away from Michael (i think less than 10 when i look at it) as both were at about the 8 line...

Michael threw a cortada that Gaydos caught with the reverse but didn't pass Michael, Gaydos then moved slightly to the outside of Michael who proceeded to (maybe)lose control of the pelota in the basket and fired the pelota right into Gaydos' face...

it was amazing to me that Gaydos never fell to the ground and walked off with the judge (gogor i believe) walking with him...

and i think Michael's partner was either Aziz or Camillo...

couldn't tell from the video, but it was not Foldy...

still scary to look at...
