New York Yankees: Didi Gregorius dons sick helmet after Friday’s collision (Video)

In the top of the eighth inning on Friday night, a scene out of The Lion King transpired in the infield at Yankee Stadium. With Didi Gregorius and Francisco Lindor racing for second base, Gregorius got a cleat to the head and Lindor and Gleyber Torres immediately fell to his side, much like Simba to the side of his dying father Mufasa (tears).

After rolling on the ground for a little bit, Gregorius got up and, like a true warrior, continued to play. While in the NFL he would be taken out for concussion protocol, this is BASEBALL.
