— -- In the bottom of the first inning of Game 3 of the ALCS between the Cleveland Indians and the Toronto Blue Jays, a finger took the spotlight -- specifically, the right pinkie of Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer.

The reason? His stitched up digit was dripping profusely with blood, and Bauer was removed from the game. Bauer had already had his start pushed back a day after he cut the finger on a drone last week.?

The bloody sight prompted tweets from other athletes, with reactions ranging from disgust to understanding:
