Vladimir Guerrero ceremonial first pitch to Baylor up for auction!?

[carbonrosa]

Bid on Vladimir Guerrero's last pitch in an Angel uniform to Don Baylor on the MLB auction site. The throw that helped break his leg. Baylor had a plate and screws inserted in his leg during 5½ hours of surgery at UC Irvine Medical Center after getting hurt while catching the ceremonial first pitch on Opening Day. Bidding starts at $150. Yuk, I guess neither Baylor nor Guerrero wanted to keep it.

That's a pretty morbid idea... When I saw the pitch/collapse, my first thought was why did Baylor position his leg in such an odd squat. Then... yeah, eww. I don't want to think about the pain.

His body went in complete shock. He probably felt the pain when he was in the ambulance realizing what the hell just happened. Guerrero's facial expression as they where escorting Baylor off the field said it all. He wanted to be far away in any direction.
