Title: Broken femur on ceremonial first pitch
Post by: WiregrassTiger on April 01, 2014, 01:50:27 PM

When I first heard about it, I thought it kinda funny. Figured it may be a young catcher who would bounce right back. Turns out it was Don Baylor who is 64 and survived cancer and his bones are brittle. Not so light hearted afterall.

Warning on the vid. It's pretty gross.

Oooooo.....that broke clean in half.  The guy got up.  They'd have to carry me off crying like a little girl.

Well, in your defense, there is a stark difference here. Don Baylor is no pussy.
