(CNN) -- A Federal Aviation Administration official warned this week about the dangers of even small unmanned aircraft, pointing specifically to a recent close call involving a drone and a commercial airliner that could have had "catastrophic" results.
Jim Williams, the head of the FAA's Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) office, discussed various potential perils during a presentation Thursday to those attending the Small Unmanned Systems Business Expo. A video of his talk in San Francisco, and those of others, to those who operate, create or otherwise are involved or interested in such unmanned aircraft was posted to YouTube.
After saying "the FAA has got to be responsive to the entire industry," Williams referred to a pair of incidents in which drones caused injuries to people on the ground. One came at an event at Virginia Motor Speedway in which an "unauthorized, unmanned aircraft" crashed into the stands, and in the other a female triathlete in Australia had to get stitches after being struck by a small drone.
Then, Williams segued to a pilot's recent report of "a near midair collision" with a drone near the airport in Tallahassee, Florida. The pilot said that it appeared to be small, camouflaged, "remotely piloted" and about 2,300 feet up in the air at the time of the incident.

Former NBA all-star Tracy McGrady always dreamed of playing professional baseball. On Saturday night, that dream became a reality as the now 34-year-old right-handed pitcher made his debut for the Sugar Land Skeeters during their independent Atlantic League game against the Somerset Patriots.

McGrady was given the starting assignment by Skeeters manager and former major leaguer Gary Gaetti, but was still held on a strict pitch count. He ended up throwing 35 pitches (18 strikes) and lasted one and two-thirds innings. The Patriots touched him up for one run in the first inning on one hit, two walks and a wild pitch. Former Houston Astros shortstop Edwin Maysonet then connected for a home run in the second, which effectively ended McGrady's evening.

His final line: 1 2/3 innings pitched, two runs, two hits, two walks and no strikeouts.
