During a minor league game on July 7, 1953, Zimmer was struck by a pitch thrown by pitcher Jim Kirk, causing Zimmer to faint. He suffered a brain injury and coagulant, which required surgery. He woke up two weeks later, thinking that it was the day after the game where the incident took place. This led to Major League Baseball adopting batting helmets as a safety measure to be used by players when at-bat.

Here is my favorite video of him:
Not because of the result, but because of the balls on the guy

He lived for the game.

Saw him play for the Senators back in the day.

He was indeed one of baseball's treasures.

Thanks for the memories Zim.

Rest In Peace.

He would have kicked Pedro's ass in his prime.
