Sep 26, 2014 6:20 PM
Cardinals center fielder Rick Ankiel was unsure of the severity of his injuries when he slammed into the wall while making a catch on Monday night.
"When I hit the ground, I thought there was a chance I broke my neck or my back," Ankiel admitted on Tuesday night. "My lower back was really tight. ... I think I was stunned. I wasn't unconscious, but I definitely was stunned. And, after that, I knew not to move."
Thankfully, tests revealed no serious injuries and he isn't expected to miss more than a few days of action.
