Yadier Molina managed to avoid a serious injury after being taken out at the plate and carted off the field in a neck brace and body board.
The St. Louis Cardinals backstop held onto the ball for his life Sunday night as pinch-runner Eric Bruntlett slid hard into home during the 7-6, 10-inning victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Molina showed plate umpire Tim McClelland he still had the ball in his right hand just before collapsing into a pile, laying face-down for several minutes.
All of Molina's test results were negative, though he was held overnight with whiplash-like symptoms.

That is a great picture.
Dude is lucky he didn't break his neck. What a play.
Who says baseball isn't a contact sport?
