Ankiel listed as day to day, no fractures! He is my HERO!

This ******* guy is SUPERMAN!

He is my damn hero!!

I can't believe he made that catch, AND he removed the ball from his glove as he was crashing face first into that wall as hard as he did.

Ank is the man!!!

I thought he broke his neck when I initially seen it happen. I was sitting in my friends living room far away from the television talking to them when I caught it out of the corner of my eye. I jumped up and shouted "He's out cold! I think he broke his neck!" Probably a few expletives mixed in there somewhere. But it was brutally scary. I literally thought he was never going to play again at first. I just sat there in front of the TV on the floor indian style with my hands on my head as I watched frightened. Didn't do me any favors when they kept showing the slow motion instant replays.

But for him to not really be hurt at all after that is amazing and just shows you what kind of a balls to the wall athlete this guy is.



In honor of Ankiel being Superman, here is some of my stuff!

He made a great catch for sure, but its not like he chose to ran into the wall, he had no choice when he lost his balance.

He had no control if he were to have gotten hurt or not, does not make him an ironman or superman cause he didn't get hurt. He got lucky.

Yes it was an amazing catch though. But don't act like the guy is the man cause he didn't get hurt.

I watched the video, and as they were carrying him off on the stretcher it showed there was a runner on 3rd and still just 1 out. Did they change after the clip ended? Was the guy out, or did he get a triple?

The guy was out. The umpire didnt make the official call that it was a catch until after he was carted off.

Great to hear he is ok!

You could tell that Feliz and the Phillies didn't care what the ruling was.

Good to hear that he is ok, that was one hell of a crash.
