Savannah Bananas’ Robert Anthony Cruz was on CNN yesterday to talk about the most talked-about baseball team in the United States. They are unconventional and do things like dance and sing on the field.
Cruz has a little trick he likes to do, and that is a backflip. He has done it thousands of times during their games, so doing it on live TV should not be a problem? Wrong! He didn’t connect with his flip like he normally does, and he crashed down face-first onto the hard floor.
It was not so much the crash that was funny, but rather the sound it made. Even he agrees that the thump made it “10X funnier.”
So, what happened? “When you do a flip, you are looking for the ground while you’re rotating,” he said. “So, I remember jumping back and seeing a bright light in my face, and the floor itself was very light. I kind of just lost where I was in the air and wound up under-rotating, plus my feet slipped. I also got to say my arms were flailing. I have no idea why it was like that.”
Is the coach OK? He had to get several stitches on his lip and under his chin. However, the most painful thing he suffered was that his pride was hurt.
I have no doubt that he will redeem himself over and over again! And if not, he will become a viral sensation all over again. And is that really a bad thing? I don’t think so, but I am a sadist and like to see people in pain.
To hear him explain what happened, then
