It dawned on me that I didn't see anything about what happened to Cameron on here. He was involved in a very nasty looking collison with Carlos Beltran. Both players were in a full extension dive going for a ball hit between them. They hit face to face. Cameron was immobilized and taken off on a stretch while wearing a neck brace. He has a broken nose, multiple fractures to his cheekbones and a concussion.

 

Beltran got scraped up and bruised up, but apparently he'll be ok. Check sportscenter for the film of this. It's not pretty.

 

Here's hoping Mike makes a quick and full recovery.

Heads and I were talking about this yesterday...

 

Brutal looking.

 

for Mike to make a full recovery.

Get well Soon Cam!!!

Cameron broke his nose and fractured bones in both cheeks.

No, but why I felt the need to restate what he already did I have no idea.

 

:banghead

That was one of the most brutal collisions I have ever seen. It take second place to watching Robin crush his ankle.

Thanks for putting that image back in my head. Eeeeeee.

 

Get well soon, Cam.

Brian called me when he got home from work this morning to tell me about that. I read the article on yahoo and cringed.

 

Get better Mike!

Thanks for putting that image back in my head.  Eeeeeee. 

 

Get well soon, Cam.

yeah, that and watching Ed McCarffrey snap his leg are burned into my brain forever.

I was amazed how when they hit, it was with so much force that both of their bodies ended up turned about 90 degrees.

 

Get well soon Cameron. Shingo could use your help.

I thought the Maggs/Willie thing was bad last year, but man this was brutal.

Update I saw on yahoo:

 

Cameron to have surgery, Beltran has concussion after collision

 

August 12, 2005

NEW YORK (AP) -- Mike Cameron will need facial surgery and Carlos Beltran sustained a concussion after their frightening outfield collision, the New York Mets said Friday.

 

Both players spent Thursday night in a San Diego hospital following their seventh-inning crash in the Mets' 2-1 loss to the Padres. Cameron and Beltran were going at full tilt for David Ross' sinking liner, and their heads hit as they made diving tries.

 

Cameron broke his nose, had multiple fractures of both cheekbones and a slight concussion. The right fielder was placed on the 15-day disabled list, and Victor Diaz was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk for Friday night's game at Los Angeles.

 

Beltran had a slight facial fracture. The center fielder most likely will not need surgery.

I was amazed Beltran came out of that so well...not surprised he has something broken as well.

Does n e one have the Beltran Cameron collision??
