Warning: Mientkiewicz Crossing

Mientkiewicz Collides With Cameraman, Says He’ll Play
Not to make fun of the guy, but what the hell? First he got knocked out for months (it was a cringe-worthy, nasty hit, the kind where the guy gets smacked in the head and doesn't move right away) when colliding with a former Red Sox teammate. Now this? Come on, dude. You're hitting, you're clutch, we need ya.
At least he seems to have a sense of humor about it:
Doug Mientkiewicz, slated to start as first baseman for the Yankees tonight in their American League divisional series opener against the Indians, collided with a television cameraman as Mientkiewicz was walking from the team bus into Jacobs Field.

“Accidents happen, especially to me,’’ Mientkiewicz said while standing outside the clubhouse door about two and a half hours prior to the first pitch. “Everything happens to me. Why wouldn’t it happen to me?’’

Maybe its karma.
Who cares. If he helps the Yankees win a game, he's my bro.
