The Yankees’ nightmare of a season rolled on with two more losses over the weekend to the Rays, and one hilarious moment in Sunday’s loss perfectly summed up their dreadful year.
In case you missed it, things got heated in the bottom of the eighth after Tampa’s Randy Arozarena was hit by a pitch and then later had words with Yankees pitcher Albert Abreu.
The benches cleared, which is something that we’ve seen happen many times in baseball games. Here’s something, however, that we don’t see all the time - Yankees pitcher Tommy Kahnle totally tripped on the dugout stairs while running onto the field to be there for his teammates:

He played that off pretty darn well.
