Ian Kinsler is handsome AND tough.
Gruesome collisions at home plate have been a part of baseball since the sport began. Runners will do anything to avoid being called out and catchers try their damnedest to keep the runner from scoring. During a game this week between the Texas Rangers and Oakland Athletics, Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler added to the long list of home plate casualties.
Kinsler took a solid shot by A's catcher John Jaso that caused him to get three stitches in the clubhouse between innings.
