Close. He didn't sit in the bleachers. He left the stadium and sat on a roof top.
Anyone ever see the video of his arm breaking delivering a pitch?
Was he the one who broke it twice? Nasty...
Pretty sure that was Tony Saunders
Quote:
Saunders was 9th in the American League in strikeouts, but also 1st in walks, as he struggled to a 6-15 record. He started the 1999 season 3-3, but on May 26, while pitching against the Texas Rangers, a bone in Saunders' arm was broken while throwing a pitch in a frightening incident. It was reported that, at the time of the incident, "a pin drop could be heard" inside Tropicana Field. He missed the remainder of the season. In 2000, he broke his arm again in a rehab assignment, forcing Saunders to retire at the age of 26.
