Buster Posey slide

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey proved he has enough wheels to go from first to third on a single. What he didn’t show everyone is that he is capable of mastering proper sliding techniques.

Watch as Posey totally faceplanted while going head-first into third base on Monday night:

He ended up with a big scrape on his face as a result:

And he may have hurt his finger:

Buster Posey was holding his hand, appeared to tell Roberto that he feared he broke a finger on slide. But he's in there catching bot 11.

Posey jammed knuckle on index finger on right hand. Loosened up but is sore. "Feet first the rest of the year." No X-rays.

If you’re sliding like that and the closest comp is to Prince Fielder, you’re not doing so hot. Get it together, Buster.
