When you fall in front of 15,000 fans, the only thing you can do is get up. Well done by our team for capturing this on replay and for sharing it on the video board in front of all the fans. It was a moment where I went for it. I saw a foul ball and I ran full speed into a full slide...the only problem was I never caught my feet underneath me. Coming into the dugout and seeing the response from the coaches and team was a moment I won't forget. The one thing I've learned is to never take yourself too seriously in Bananaland and to always go for it. There was no reason why I should have ran onto the field to get that ball and go into a full slide...but my mindset was why not, what's the worst that could happen? And yup, that basically happened, I fell...but it was still 100% worth it.

Love that you’d post this. Without falling, we wouldn’t be human. And the humanity of the Bananas is what’s so contagious.

This furthers the myth that nobody has ever really slipped on a banana peel but you came closest to it than any human before you 😆👍🏼

I think you snagged it though, right?? Fall after is easy to ignore after such a good play 👊🏻

WOO HOO!! This is fabulous! I love how you are always in the moment and all in! This was the inspiration I needed for this morning. Keep being present and go for it! GO BANANAS!!
