That’s got to hurt.
Being an outfielder in baseball may seem like an easy enough gig, but occasionally you find yourself in harms way.
On the face of it, you get to stand out in the sunshine for a few hours, and catch a few fly-balls, but every now and then you have to sacrifice your personal safety to make an out.
Last night, the Milwaukee Brewers’ Khris Davis had to put his body on the line to catch this hit against the Colorado Rockies, and deserves plenty of pats on the back for his efforts.
Sprinting towards the fence, Davis leaped into the air to pluck the ball from the sky, but his momentum eventually carried him right into the electronic billboard, and he took an almighty bounce off it.
The deafening clatter as he rattles into the board makes it even better, and we’re seriously wondering how he’s still in one piece.
Impressive.
