New York Yankee Closer Mariano Rivera suffered a knee injury when shagging fly balls during batting practice in Kansas City as the Yankees were preparing to take on the Royals.
At this point the extent of the knee injury is unknown.
I don’t like to see any athletes suffer injuries, but I’ve watched the video above a couple of times and I can’t figure out which is my favorite part.
1. Alex Rodriguez panically yelling “oh my god” over and over again.
2. Manager Joe Girardi’s long run to the outfield — his face lacking any emotion — trying to figure out who will be his new closer.
3. Everyone having to watch out for fly balls because batting practice didn’t stop even though their closer can’t walk.
