Well, I slid into second base, then I got up and didn’t really feel it. I probably have ones that I’ve chosen to forget.” Touki Toussaint, Braves pitcher But I can’t think of anything embarrassing. “I think I fell into the bathtub when I was really young, and I got hurt. It could have been much worse.” Cal Quantrill, Padres prospect Everybody thought I’d landed weird or something. I made the play, which was great, but I was down. “In high school, I jumped and made a play at the fence in right-center field, and the right fielder head-butted me in the nuts. Just the usual stuff that happens being kids.” Jo Adell, Angels prospect “Just the usual stuff, like getting your teeth knocked out on the trampoline from your brothers. So, that’s embarrassing but it’s kind of a cool story.” Max Muncy, Dodgers infielder I stayed in the game and hit a home run like three innings later, though. I jumped, and when I came down I just blew my whole face open.

“I ran into a brick wall and busted my face open in high school, trying to catch a fly ball.

I had this huge welt, with the laces showing right across my cheek.” Ben Gamel, Brewers outfielder I mean, in front of John Elway, in front of his son. So this kid hits a fly ball and I go to catch it and I just take my eye off the ball for a split second and it glances off my glove and smokes me right under the eye. My brother’s team is still there, the parents hanging out and everything. After one of the games, some dad was throwing his kid BP, and me and some of the other younger brothers were out there just messing around, helping them out, shagging. My brother played on a team with Jack Elway, the son of John Elway. “It was after one of my brother's baseball games. I guess what it was was that I didn't have enough running room to get the right start.” Kyle Freeland, Rockies starting pitcher

I spent spring training asking players around the league a series of quick-hitter type questions, and we’ve run those as a 'Two Minutes With …” feature. MORE: Watch 'ChangeUp,' a new MLB live whiparound show on DAZN I wanted to hear stories of those moments, so the rest of us don’t feel so clumsy. And sometimes, those “oops” moments - whether a mental of physical “oops” - lead to injuries. They have their not-so-graceful moments, especially when they were kids learning to play the game or learning to explore the world. We watch baseball games and see amazing defenders sprinting all over the field, pitchers throwing baseballs at incredible speeds and hitters pounding baseballs deep into the night. We are in awe of what these elite athletes can accomplish.īut they’re human, too.
