Cleveland pitcher leaves playoff game due to drone injury

I'm not sure if "drone" has appeared on a major league injury report before, but one of the flying machines has had an impact on an MLB ALCS playoff game. No one was injured by a drone at the ballpark in an Inglesias-like incident, but Cleveland pitcher Trevor Bauer cut his throwing hand on Friday and required stitches ahead of a scheduled start in game two of the team's series against Toronto. He healed enough to start tonight in game three, but the cut re-opened during the first inning and he had to leave early.

The drone that hurt Bauer's hand was apparently a model he was building himself, and when he plugged in the battery only one rotor spun, causing the injury. USA Today reports he's had issues with UAVs before, as the team banned him from flying over the practice facility, and he got one stuck in a tree in Kansas City. His YouTube channel shows off some nicely shot drone videos, and just last month a news report aired showing how he has shared his passion with students at a local high school, followed by a Wall Street Journal article.

I hope Bauer's passion for the hobby isn't dulled by this event, but as a person who also needs their hands to work, maybe I can suggest the fully-enclosed Passport drone for in-season flights?

Update: Cleveland won the game anyway, 4 - 2.
