BALTIMORE — The Orioles cut up Monday’s double header towards the Toronto Blue Jays.
Despite breaking out with 11 runs scored in a sport one victory, the story was O’s catcher James McCann.
During a primary inning at-bat, the 2019 All Star was drilled within the face by a mid-90’s fastball from pitcher Yariel Rodríguez.
Bleeding profusely from the nose, crew trainers rushed to house plate.
After ready a number of minutes for the bleeding to decelerate, McCann trotted to first base however then headed in direction of the dugout for what most thought can be an early exit from the sport.
Instead, McCann changed his blood stained jersey, and reappeared with a nose stuffed full of cotton.
In an incredible show of toughness, McCann selected to stay within the sport.
Despite a probably damaged nose and swollen eye, McCann went onto slap a base hit in his subsequent plate look.
Injured teammate Tyler Wells summed it up on X (previously Twitter) stating, “I might go to struggle each single day for James McCann. But after seeing that, I’m satisfied that I might completely [be] ineffective to him. That’s the hardest SOB I’ve ever met. And he simply proved it proper there.”
