This is a bit scary.

Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax took and line drive foul ball of the bat of Andre Eithier off his head at Dodgers spring training camp during batting practice Friday.

Here's a photo of Koufax after the incident.

"I'm fine." Koufax said an hour later.

After a CT scan Koufax returned to the Dodgers spring training camp.

According to the Dodger legend this is the first time he's ever been hit in the head by a baseball.

When Eithier was asked if he was worried his response was.

"Wouldn't you be?" Eithier said. "Not just because of who he is, but anybody who gets hit. It's scary. I've seen it happen."

Sandy Koufax stopped by the press room to assure writers that he's fine after being hit in the head by an Andre Ethier line drive.
