“It’s real when you run and you’re 51 years old,” Day said via Cincinnati Enquirer. “He got a massive ovation. And he was at the record. And he rounded the first base and thought of going to second place. And the crowd cheered him on. Now he grabbed his hamstring.
“I thought he just played to the crowd. You know, ‘Hi, I’m an older guy and it’s hard for me to run.’ It turns out he completely tore his hamstring.
