Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 4285181, member: 289"] I still remember Jason Kendall's 1999 injury, which left him with an L-shaped leg: [URL unfurl="true"]https://old.post-gazette.com/pirates/19990705bucs1.asp[/URL] I couldn't find a video of it. This one doesn't have it but I think that's Jason in the thumbnail: [MEDIA=youtube]7euMIxbS4Eg[/MEDIA] But he came back to have a lengthy and productive career: [URL="https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/k/kendaja01.shtml"]Jason Kendall Stats | Baseball-Reference.com[/URL] I realize it helps the fielders, especially the first baseman, to have an elevated base so they can find it with their feet. But the catcher doesn't have that at home plate. You wonder if the players wouldn't be better off with ground-level bases. I'm glad they don't shoot baseball players like they do race horses. [/QUOTE]
