Rick Ankiel Gets "Jacked Up" By The Outfield Wall

The good news is that all of Rick Ankiel x-rays came back negative and he has full movement in his legs and arms. The bad news is that you know he is hurting this morning. Running head first into an outfield wall is definitely worse than a lot of the "jacked up" collisions we talk about during the football season. If you have never been on a Major League Baseball field you have no idea how solid that wall is. Not to simplify things, but it is literally like "running into a wall". That padding does not have much give at all, so running face first is not preferred. Hopefully Ankiel will only be out for a few games and next time he needs to try to do a "Bo Jackson" as oppose of using his head as a stopper. Even Ricky Hatton was like "Damn I didn't even get hit that hard".
