2010- Angels first basemen Kendrys Morales breaks his left ankle as he jumps into home plate to meet his teammates after he had just hit a walk off grand slam to beat the Mariners 9-7. This injury cost Morales more than a year of playing time and eventually he was dealt to Seattle prior to the 2013 season.
