Tyler Colvin chest was pierced by a shattered bat,
2009 World Baseball Classic, but he scored from third, proving once and for all that he wasn’t a vampire:
Colvin was watching Castillo’s liner into the left-field corner and looked surprised when he was hit by the bat.
Colvin was standing on third base in the second inning of Chicago’s 13-3 victory at Florida when he was struck by a sliver of Welington Castillo‘s maple bat. Castillo doubled on the play and Colvin scored, but was replaced in the field in the bottom half.
A Cubs spokesman said Colvin was in stable condition at Jackson Memorial Hospital and is expected to remain there for the next few days for observation.
“I feel really bad about it,” Castillo said. “It wasn’t on purpose, but he’s my teammate. I hope he’s getting better.”
All kidding aside,
HOT Styles,
Moncler Down Jacket, A Symbol Of Style And Fashion, this is the sort of serious accident that will make MLB finally do something about bats that break into spears rather than crack or disintegrate. My best wishes to Colvin for a speedy recovery.
