It's probably not nice to laugh. But it's a player from the New York Yankees. So that just makes it even funnier. This clip left both of us in stitches. Brett Gardner threw his batting helmet in anger, but it bounced back and it nailed him right in the mouth. He ended up needing 6 stitches to close the wound according to MLB.com.

As you can imagine, Twitter was just as sympathetic as I was.

... and my personal favorite.
