YASNY Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 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.

RockRaines Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 That was one of the most brutal collisions I have ever seen. It take second place to watching Robin crush his ankle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Prawn Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
