Yelich Out for the Season with Fractured Knee Cap


Eye Black

You can pinch run in the middle of a homerun trot. Quite a few years ago I remember a guy hit a home run and stopped at second base because he blew out his knee or something and they put in a pinch runner to finish for him.

 

There's also this...

 

Found it, Gabe Kapler actually, and he didn't hit the home run but was on base and got hurt and was pinch ran for.

Its not a HR until you run the bases. He could crawl

 

Crawling on a fractured kneecap is probably not a good idea. Rolling would be the way to go. :laughing

 

Summersaults!

"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006

You'd better get Yeli good an' liquored up before you ask him to roll with a busted patella. I've had one, and when I landed on it (split the sucker in half), I let the expletives fly like Cosmo Kramer at the dentist. :laughing

There are three things America will be known for 2000 years from now when they study this civilization: the Constitution, jazz music and baseball. They're the three most beautifully designed things this culture has ever produced. Gerald Early
