I felt the pop in my elbow and knew exactly what had happened.
It was April 1, two nights before our first game of the regular season, and after sliding headfirst into home, I pushed off the ground to get to my feet, and I felt the pop.
There was a split-second when a hope zoomed through my mind that maybe the same injury hadn't happened, but when I grabbed my right elbow and felt for the bone, I could feel the indent from a fracture. I had a flashback to the first time this had happened to me.
