Rick of the Outfield

May 5, 2009 Austin

After colliding head first into the center field wall and being carted off the field, Rick Ankiel was released from the hospital this morning with no fractures or any serious injuries. Surprisingly.

He will rejoin the team today for their second of three games against the Phillies, although he will not play. Rick, on behalf of baseball fans everywhere, we are very thankful that you are going to be OK after what appeared to be a scary moment for not only Cardinal Nation, but all of Major League Baseball.

Now, with that being said…

Read the following in the tune of the ‘George of the Jungle’ theme song:

Rick, Rick,
Rick of the Outfield
Hustles more than all,
(AHHHHH!)
Watch out for that wall!

Rick, Rick,
Rick of the Outfield,
Goes hard against the wall,
(AHHHHH!)
Hold on to that ball!

Austin hosts a country music morning radio show in Chicago after nearly a decade in sports talk radio (The Jim Rome Show, Steve Gorman SPORTS!) Colin Cowherd and Smash Mouth follow him on Twitter and he wears pants every day.
