Ew … but it happens.
Hunter Greene, the 25-year-old ace for the Cincinnati Reds, puked in his glove Tuesday in the middle of a game. And yes, he was on the mound. It’s the fourth time in his career that Greene has done this, and to make it even crazier, this happened in the middle of him dominating the St. Louis Cardinals.

Greene threw up in the fifth inning of the game, and it came out of nowhere, with puke being seen squirting out of his glove. If that wasn’t gross enough, just imagine being one of the umpires that had to check his glove after the fact. You’re just trying to find sticky stuff, but instead you have to deal with throw up, friggin’ nasty.
It’s not known why Greene tossed up his lunch, but if I had to take a guess, I’d say it was the hot weather — we’re in the dog days of August and excessive heat warnings are everywhere.

Here’s what Reds manager David Bell had to say about the scene after the game:

Such a “this is so baseball” story.
