Though this occurred during my hiatus, it's too good to skip.
What should have been a celebratory moment in the young career of one of baseball's newest stars turned tragic when Angels first baseman Kendry Morales broke his leg after jumping onto home plate in celebration of a walk-off Grand Slam on May 29th.
The "jump around like a bunch of idiots" celebration that has become so trendy in baseball has caused other injuries, but Morales' is the most severe thus far. Some teams have taken steps to outlaw or prevent this goofiness in the future. It's amazing that the least-contact of the major sports has so many injuries like this.
Morales' isn't the best, or worst, celebration of all time, however. That honor still belongs to the one and only Bill Gramatica.
Woulda been nice if the Road Runner got hurt one of those times he was gloating over his triumphs over Wile E.
