It was the 13th inning of a game in mid-April. Pitcher broke his leg at home on a bang-bang play. Very next batter broke his leg sliding into 2nd stretching out a single. After a couple of days of "Injured, diagnosis pending"s they both hosted tearful press conferences. At least the pitcher was a journeyman in his mid-30's. The other guy was a top SS prospect playing his 7th game in the majors. There was a post about this recently, I would have liked to see them at least TRY to come back... On a side note, I fired my trainer and batting coach in a fit of rage. ("Teach them how to slide dammit!") I still have the screenshots, will post later.
