Beltran's comment:

Cameron and Beltran collided at high speed in San Diego last Thursday
as both chased a fly ball. Cameron was carried off the field on a
stretcher and was placed on the disabled list with fractures of both
cheek bones and his nose as well as a mild concussion.

"Mike came out of it with the worst part," said Beltran, who also was
diagnosed with a mild concussion. "He knows we're praying for him.
He'll be fine. It's part of the game."


I really think he got it.
