Sean Casey Laced A Liner Off Billy Ripken’s Face On MLB Tonight

| Posted on |

Let’s start out by appreciating the dopeness of the indoor baseball diamond MLB Network has. In a perfect world, I’d be writing this post from a lawn chair on my very own…but that’s not happening anytime soon. Anyhow, for as awesome as the field is, it’s been known to be dangerous from time to time — especially when you have former big leaguers hitting against media personalities.

On Monday, there was another ‘workplace accident’ on MLB Tonight when Sean Casey laced a line drive off Billy Ripken’s face during a segment.

Sean Casey, always known as one of the nicest guys in baseball, was laughing his ass off but made sure to ask ‘Rip’ if he was alright. Ripken, like a true OG, was literally unfazed by the liner and didn’t break away from the demonstration. This could be why the show has won six Sports Emmys (Outstanding Studio Show – Daily) in the last eight years. It should be noted that they’re the reigning champs in the category.

Later on, Casey tweeted out that he’d be buying dinner for his co-worker.

Lauren Shehadi — the victim of Casey’s other accident — also weighed in on the situation via Twitter.

Casey last played in the MLB in 2008 with Boston while Ripken last suited up in 1998 for Detroit.
