Dexter Fowler's helmet breaks up double play

Found September 19, 2012 on Holdout Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Dexter Fowler,  Brandon Crawford,  Charlie Blackmon,  Marco Scutaro
TEAMS: Colorado Rockies,  San Francisco Giants

Colorado Rockies center fielder Dexter Fowler used his head, literally, to break up a double play after a throw by San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford deflected off Fowler's helmet during Tuesday night's MLB game at AT&T Park.


It happened in the top of the sixth inning with Fowler on first base. Rockies batter Charlie Blackmon grounded to second baseman Marco Scutaro, who tossed the ball to Crawford for the force out of Fowler. Fowler slid a bit high into second base, which obviously affected Crawford's throw, as the ball bounced high off Fowler's helmet and all the way back behind home plate.

It's a good thing Fowler was wearing that helmet.
