SAN DIEGO (AP) -- New York Mets right fielder Mike Cameron was taken off the field on a stretcher following a frightening head-to-head collision with center fielder Carlos Beltran in the seventh inning of a 2-1 loss to the San Diego Padres on Thursday.
The game was delayed for about 13 minutes after the diving crash. Cameron lay on the field and was tended to by trainers from both teams before being taken to Mercy Hospital.
Cameron broke his nose, had multiple fractures of both cheekbones and a slight concussion, Mets spokesman Jay Horwitz said. Cameron underwent two CT scans and was to be hospitalized overnight. He was placed on the disabled list.
Mets assistant general manager Jim Duquette said Beltran was examined by the Padres' doctor at the stadium and "everything came out normal." Beltran was to have a CT scan and then possibly head to Los Angeles to rejoin the Mets, who open a series against the Dodgers on Friday night. Beltran had a sore shoulder and a cut near his left temple.
Cameron lifted up his head at one point, and shielded his eyes from the sun as he was put onto a stretcher by paramedics, lifted onto a cart and driven off the field. He was immobilized and put in a neck brace.
Beltran got up after a few minutes after the collision and walked off the field on his own power. He left the game with a sore left shoulder and a cut on the face.
Both fielders went after a sinking liner by pinch-hitter David Ross with one out and the score tied at 1. Cameron was completely stretched out diving for the ball when he and Beltran collided, falling into a heap.
Neither caught the ball, which went for a triple. Shortstop Chris Woodward sprinted out to get the ball and throw it into the infield.

more than griffey?
No way. Griffey is my favorite player of all time...I grew up on him. I would love for the M's to get him back somehow....Center field, Left field, DH....whatever. At this point, I think Seattle would largely welcome him back with open arms.

That would have been an impressive hit if it happened on a football field. On the baseball field, it is just plain sick. It really was like a train wreck. The more you didnt want to watch, the more all you could do is look. He will probably be out for quite a long time.

I love huge hits... I have a folder on my computer with close to 100 NFL bone crunchers... but that Cameron-Beltran collision is probably the first and only hit that I have no desire to watch again. It was just sick.
