Miguel Amaya is one of those players who plays every game like it's his last. You could see how happy he was to be back on the field with his teammates after missing more than two months with an oblique injury - which made how his night ended even more heartbreaking.

The 26-year-old backstop had to be carted off the field after suffering a gruesome-looking leg injury while trying to beat out a close play at first. With tears in his eyes, Amaya departed - and instantly, fans, broadcasters and players alike started showing their support - and emotions.
