Longtime MLB umpire Larry Vanover was left with “a pretty good-sized knot” on his head and didn’t know he had actually been hit by the ball after being hit by a relay throw during Wednesday's Yankees-Guardians game
In the top of the fifth inning at Progressive Field, Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka drove the ball to center field for an extra-base hit. After Guardians second baseman Andres Gimenez received the ball from center fielder Myles Straw, he attempted to throw home to nab New York's Oswaldo Cabrera at the plate.
But Gimenez's relay throw from shallow center drilled Vanover on the side of the head. Vanover, who has 29 years of experience at the big league level, was standing between second base and the pitcher's mound when he got hit.
