Celebrating Can Be Hazardous

The guy on the far left - Jerry Hairston Jr. - just scored the winning run at Yankee Stadium to give the Yanks a two games to none lead on the Angels in their best-of-seven playoff series. Hairston had played parts of 12 seasons in the Majors without being in a playoff game. So he's a happy guy as he flies into the arms of his teammates. But ...










... the wave of players was a little too strong for Hairston who was actually knocked down. They surrounded him on the ground as he happily covered his head before the guys helped him up. All this is good fun! And then ...






... the expected pie in the face from pie master A.J. Burnett who pitched very well earlier in the game. That's 16 pies this season. The Yankees are hoping the kitchen remains open for more game-ending celebrations on the road to what they hope is a shot at their 27 th World Series title.
