Toronto Blue Jays center fielder Colby Rasmus caused a gate in the center field wall to open when he crashed into it after making a catch in Sunday's baseball game at Tropicana Field against the Tampa Bay Rays.
It happened in the first inning as Rays batter Luke Scott hit a fly ball to deep center field. Rasmus ran back and made a nice catch, then braced himself for a collision with the outfield wall. Rasmus just happened to crash into a segment of the wall with a gate, and with it opening up and absorbing some of the force of the collision, it may have saved him from serious injury.
