Just heard that Don Baylor was wheeled out of the clubhouse on a stretcher right now. Updates should come within 15 minutes.

Kirk Gibson's day before playoffs gameface was so intense it knocked out Baylor.

Just kidding. Hope he is okay.

Light headed and fainted. Taken for observation.

I think this is the best scenario we could have hoped for, given the circumstances. I was worried it was a heart attack. Still scary, though.

Kevin Towers said, barring complications, he should be in the dugout tomorrow.

Hope he's ok. Played High School baseball here in Austin. He was a SR. when I was a Soph. I saw him hit some prodigious home runs.

)—Arizona Diamondbacks batting coach Don Baylor was taken to a hospital after fainting at Miller Park on Friday morning.

Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers said Baylor had a “fainting episode” after eating breakfast in the clubhouse, and one of the team’s trainers caught him as he fell. Towers said Baylor was taken by ambulance to a hospital, accompanied by members of the team’s medical staff.

“Anytime somebody faints, loses consciousness for a while, it’s scary,” Towers said. “He’s a big part of this ballclub, means a lot to these players. And hopefully everything turns out well and he’s in uniform tomorrow, hopefully helping us win a ballgame against a very good Brewers club.”

Towers said the 62-year-old Baylor was undergoing tests and the initial results were encouraging.
