“This is what a serious cerebral concussion and looks like (I still do not remember anything like), apparently I fell from a 25-foot deer medium yesterday morning,” he wrote on X.

“I am fine and I appreciate that everyone checks me. Very lucky…. The concussion and the 2 cracked vertebrae… I will be back in #birdland who soon calls the Orioles Games. Thank you all for all the thoughts (your) thoughts and (prayers) and thank you to the doctors. See you soon.”

McDonald is a passionate hunter and expressed as much in an article on social networks in December.

At the time, he wrote that he was hunting when he started thinking about his father. Suddenly, a giant buck approached him and he was able to put him in bag.

“Normally, I do not share too much of my reflections on the social, but it’s too good not to share. I lost my father in January … Sitting in a time weapon of yesterday to enjoy the hunting season without him for the first time gave me a chance to think about every hour that we spent together on the ball fields, the basketball terrains and in the Woods of Deer,” wrote McDonald. “I had a conversation with him saying how much I miss it and thanking him for everything he has done for us and our family and the many sacrifices he made.

“I had a good cry because I want him to always be there for one more hunting season or just to have one more conversation … 5 minutes after having dried my eyes and concentrated on the hunting …. assured an absolute giant …. This male could have gone anywhere in the plot of 6 acres but followed a 24 yards under my tree …. The blow was true while he was in the middle of the plot and made me mere!

“There is no doubt that it was a divine intervention with the kind permission of the man upstairs and # pawpaw…. The big outdoors is at home for me … This is where I am probably the most comfortable! It is not always about harvest, is to make memories! This male will always be known as # Pawpaw’s Buck!”

McDonald was a star launcher in LSU before the Orioles chose it n ° 1 in total in 1989. He became a launcher who is quite usable in his peak.

He had a 3.91 MPM with 894 stick withdrawals in 211 appearances. He has spent the last two seasons with the Brewers Milwaukee. The last season of his career took place in 1997.
