hi8is Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 03:53 PM) Angels pitching coach broke his leg on the ceremonial first pitch. http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/mlb/story/_...ial-first-pitch I saw that last night. Pretty freaky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Lopez's Ghost Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hitting coach, first of all. I think he's a cancer survivor, which could be a factor in his bone strength. Really gruesome to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yeah, it has been widely suggested that cancer contributed to this. I found it quite upsetting - not so much because of how gruesome the end product was, but how fun that moment should have been, how simple a task he was doing, and the reason it all fell apart.

Heads22 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 That was so bizarre - I thought the damage was done when he was lying at home plate. Totally wasn't prepared for it to snap after he tried to get up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Oh ok. Didn't hear the cancer part. That likely had something to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoIL Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 A similar thing happened to Dave Dravecky of the Giants, while he was piching. http://articles.philly.com/1989-08-16/spor...-cancer-surgery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
