One's Enough, Three Is Two Too Many

Manger Joe Girardi has his eye on the Yankees back-up catcher and for good reason
Ben Shpigel of the New York Times reported the following:
Cervelli said he had had at least three concussions since 2005. It is widely believed each successive concussion increases the risk of sustaining another.
Cashman said that when Cervelli had his last concussion, while playing winter ball in November, the Yankees could have let him resume playing. But they shut him down as a precaution.
Cervelli caught Mark Melancon’s bullpen session, and Girardi asked Melancon later: Did Cervelli catch everything?
“I would never do that before,” Girardi said.

Concussions are something which can screw up a player's career easily
Luckily enough, baseball is a sport where you don’t have the constant risk of getting one throughout the game. All Girardi needs to do is tell Cervelli to get out of the way of the runner heading home. The very air Cervelli leaves behind at home-plate is enough to make it a force-out.
I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.
