This is one of those "enjoying the game" moments and it's just so fun to watch the players just not take the game so seriously and just have fun playing the game, they love to enjoy and I think every baseball fan should live for moments like these

[brooklynnchick]

Performed like a soccer star! 🤣 nice to see them having fun!

I have seen this clip so many times and laugh every time. Travis displayed brilliant comedic timing. He's such a beloved Brave.

This children is the definition of playing through pain. The perseverance, the determination. d`Arnaud is on the ground grimacing in pain, he`s having a hard time breathing after taking a 52 MPH laser to the ribs, batting helmet dislodged 20 feet away from his body and shards from his broken bat littering home plate. Yet the grit of this apex competitor... He waives off the training staff, pulls himself off the ground and takes first base. For all you children watching and wondering what it takes to be a pro athlete. This is it!

😂😂😂 Genuine laughter is one of the MOST contagious things EVER!!!

Absolutely drilled with a 52 mph fastball. Hope he's okay.

Will someone explain the full story?
It sounds like it is special.

D’Arnaud is my new favorite player… through this one pitch I can tell just how much grit he has and really has a love for the game, and it’s unfortunate he had to get injured. I’m hoping he makes a quick recovery. Thoughts and prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[tdadp]

He wins hands down the Oscar for best hit by pitch death scene 🤣🤣🤣

Always been a Dee Gordon fan. Love reading his lips at the beginning... "Oh my God". This will go down as one of my favorite baseball moments of all time.

[instepwiththestars]

These two are the stars of one of the most emotional moments in baseball history AND one of the funniest. d'Arnaud was the Mets' catcher when Strange-Gordon hit his home run in tribute to José Fernández on 26 September 2016. Five and a half years later, they reunited to give us this. I hope they give us something at the end of the 2027 season.

The catcher doing CPR would have been the icing on the cake…🤣🤣

[teyvang]

I love seeing these kinds of moments, when they are so lighthearted and everyone just enjoys it... benches don't clear and it all becomes a fight, hate those moments... it all becomes a waste of time, players get ejected, and it just becomes a worthless day.

[danielheaton]

This should be a life lesson for any situation where comedy is the remedy.

[sarahc]

That made the announcers day heck made my day lol 😆

[darylmorning]

"All over the highlights tomorrow."

It's still catching hits. 🤣

[toadwiiremotewithwiimotion]

I didn't know Dee Gordon still plays. And praying for a full recovery 🙏

[rbrtmasten]

Classic 😂😂😂😂😂 Love baseball! Great to see both teams having fun out there.

[enigmathegrayman]

This play made baseball history, don’t ask me how it just does! 🤣😂

Reminded me of that All-Star game years ago when John Kruk of the Phillies faced Randy Johnson of the Mariners during one at-bat. Johnson uncorked a pitch that went towards Kruk's head and Kruk hit the deck so fast to avoid it. Kruk got up, had a big smile on his face and made like his heart was racing several miles per hour. Meanwhile, the players and coaches on both the American and National Leagues were laughing out loud in their respective dugouts, even Kruk's own manager broke into a smile. His at-bat ended with a swinging strikeout, which had Kruk spinning like a ballerina, then taking a bow as he removed his batting helmet. 😄
