DETROIT – A member of the Detroit Tigers grounds crew had to be carted off the field after suffering an injury between innings.
It happened Wednesday, May 28, during the Tigers’ series-sweeping win over the San Francisco Giants.
The FanDuel Sports Network broadcast showed the man stumbling while raking the infield during the seventh-inning stretch.
He went down in front of the Giants dugout and was clearly experiencing pain in his leg.
The Giants sent their trainers out to help the man, and EMS eventually showed up, as well. The game was delayed for several minutes.
Tigers assistant athletic trainer Chris McDonald treated the man’s left leg, and the man was ultimately able to stand and get onto the cart, which took him off the field.
His injury went viral on social media because while he was on the ground in pain, he took a moment to flip off the camera that was zooming in on the situation.
