My goodness. Prayers up to this young man. Do NOT watch if you have queasiness issues. Just brutal.
Seton Hall Player Injury
- Thread starter TommyAshley
- Start date
The young man hit a two-run homer but did a hop step between 1st and 2nd that didn't land right and clearly snapped his ankle. Like he was standing up straight but you could see the full underside of his cleat - it was perpendicular basically.
"In the bottom of the fifth, the Pirates would quickly regain the lead. Justin Ford would take the first pitch he saw over the wall in left center field for a go-ahead two-run home run, giving the Pirates a 4-3 lead. While rounding first base, Ford injured his ankle and was forced to leave the game, as Jake Lopez entered the game to finish rounding the bases for Ford."

“Injured his ankle” in the one report might be one of the most understated things I’ve ever read. That injury had full on Anderson Silva / Connor McGregor vibes.
Man, the celebration got him. He must have had an underlying bone issue or a stress fracture because that was totally normal movement from the looks of it
He was just jogging/skipping around the bases in celebration and his leg just snapped in half, right above the ankle area it looked like to me. One of the strangest injuries I've ever seen, kind of like when that Louisville basketball player's leg snapped in the tournament against Duke back in 2013.
I was actually thinking of that exact same thing. That, and Theisman, may be the all time worst....at least top 5.
Pretty much the same thing I said to my wife when I watched it and then showed it to her yesterday. I should have known better than to show it to her, though. She wasn’t happy with me. She doesn’t handle stuff like that very well.
I hope the kid makes a full recovery.
