Is there any place more dangerous in sports than home plate during a walk-off celebration in baseball?
Baseball players are not known for losing their chiclets, but when you get a group of excited athletes jumping around while wearing hard plastic helmets, anything can happen. Thursday, Brett Gardner hit a walkoff home in the 11th inning to give the Yankees a 6-5 victory over the Rays. While celebrating the game-winning homer at the plate, Judge inadvertently caught Gardner's helmet directly to the mouth, resulting in a pretty interesting slo-mo shot.
Following the conclusion of the game a member of the Yankees security staff reportedly went out onto the field to look for Judge's chipped tooth. Whether or not he was successful in his search, we don't know.
