The moment New York Yankees‘ Didi Gregorius suffered the injury that ultimately sent him into the surgical room, he knew one thing and one thing only – he wasn’t coming out of a playoff game.
The Yankees still needed three outs in the inning in the first-game of the ALDS against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway. Gregorius knew that his season was over the second he lost all feeling in his arm. As the numbness faded and feeling began to rush ever-so quickly back into his arm, he made a choice.
Didi told the training staff what he was feeling, and they addressed it with treatment, just to send him right back out onto the field.
