(Baseball)Mets' Mike Cameron and Carlos Beltran collide

krunchyfrogg · 08-11-2005, 10:17 PM

Ouch. Worst baseball injury I've ever seen. Mike Cameron broke his nose, lost four teeth, and broke both of his cheekbones.

Carlos Beltran can't lift his left arm past his shoulder, and his face is cut up.

Beltran walked off the field, Cameron had to be put on a stretcher and moved. Neither player remembers the incident.

I'm a huge baseball fan, but I'm not thinking about that tonight. I just hope both of these guys can go back to normal lives! My thoughts and prayers are with these guys.

Link to footage of the play and a more complete story

ouch. I'm not a fan of either player, but it still sucks. I know what it feels like to not be able to play the sport you love...they're gonna have a tough time ahead of them.

They don't remember the incident because of a head collision? It's not like they lost their memory right?

Yeah I know how terrible this was. I was watching replays and replays of this on the news. Quite gruesome.

It seems like baseball players are injury prone as of lately. Some two weeks ago, a Red Sox pitcher took a line drive to the head, collapsed, and didn't move for ten minutes.

OUCH man that would really hurt. There was no slowing down or give by either guy.

Can't get the link to work on either 56k or 360k but i'll try again later. Judging by the photo, though, it looks like a wicked collision.

Saw it, and man, I totally cringed.. I mean, they plowed into each other. Glad they are ok and heal totally.

Cloudbringer · 08-12-2005, 08:34 AM

Ouch! Hopefully the injuries will heal up and not give then any permanent problems.. but yikes, that looks painful!

krunchyfrogg · 08-12-2005, 05:49 PM

Turns out Beltran also broke a cheekbone, but they're saying it's not too bad. They don't know how much time either guy will miss, but with only six weeks of the season left, and reconstructive facial surgery on the way, I'll bet Cameron is done for the yeat.

Ungh, hope they get well

Sever · 08-14-2005, 08:22 AM

Still can't get the video footage to work. It's probably something simple, but then the simple things are always difficult at this stage of the weekend. Anyone help us out?
