  (Adam Dunn leveled Indians rookie catcher Carlos Santana on Sunday. Photos of TV/MASN by Nationals Enquirer staff.) We'd be remiss if we didn't mention that play in the second inning during Strasburg II where Adam Dunn absolutely destroyed Indians rookie catcher Carlos Santana at home plate.

Yard Work: Played by Carlos Santana

Via FanHouse  |  June 12, 2010
