I don't have cable, so I haven't seen it.Angels celebrate only 2 MVP's in team history with Guerrero throwing first pitch to Baylor, who is ironically the hitting coach.Baylor reaches for low pitch, and somehow breaks leg.Heard on Fox Sports Radio it was a gruesome incident.What a bizarre incident.I have never seen that before.Too bad Morales doesn't play for Mariners anymore to warn him of some apparent curse at home plate there.This game was on ESPN2, right?Did they show it?

They showed it last night on our Mariners channel. It was surreal. Just folded! They tried to get him to walk it off....

Jeez, that's weird. How do you break your leg just twisting a bit? He could have even more serious underlying problems.

I forgot about "I am amused by the simplicity of this game." haha.

He has battled the cancer that attacks the bones going back to 2006, I believe.
This doesn't mean, he now has cancer, just that his bones, in some areas can be very weak.
Probably wasn't a great choice to play catcher.

I'm not a doctor, I just play one on the internet.

I think the Angels need to just give up home plate celebrations altogether.

This makes victim #2

Vladdy would have swung at that pitch.

*Vladdy would have crushed that pitch.

Ogando, Michael Young, Leonys Martin and all Texas Rangers

That was my first thought watching it. He through it, right where we watched him hit it for years.

Yes, he had multiple myeloma. Definitely explains the fracture (which is called pathologic fracture). There's no way a femur would break in a healthy person in that situation.

I have MLB At Bat on my mobile, but that's it.I watch my team's highlights on it.But games are annoyingly blacked out, and I don't even live in the state they play in.I doubt they would have footage of Baylor.

Shouldn't his doctors have told him that?Someone on radio said it was Theisman ugly.So who coaches for him?
