How embarassment!!! Attempting the mosh pit and finding no one to catch you … another I Wish The Ground Would Open Up and Swallow Me moment!

29th May 2010, USA

Los Angeles Angels first baseman, Kendry Morales, hit a home run and led his team to victory, 5-1, over Seattle … but fractured his leg during on pitch celebrations.

After hitting the home run, the Angels’ best hitter, ran through the bases with everyone cheering him on. As he approached home plate, his teammates ran from the dugout to greet him. Obviously thrilled at his own achievement, Morales leaped towards the cheering scrum of teammates and home plate but landed awkwardly. X-rays revealed he’d fractured his fibula, requiring surgery and ending his season early.

Morales was leading the team in batting (.290), home runs (11), total bases (94) and runs batted in (39). He was able to wave to fans as he was stretchered away.
