An ice storm hit Toronto on Monday and led to the cancellation of the Royals-Blue Jays game after ice damaged the Roger’s Centres roof. That wasn’t the only thing damaged by ice.
One of the Royals team buses had the windshield destroyed when ice from another one of their buses flew off and hit it. The driver of the bus that sustained the damage was hit in the face with shards from the windshield.
Royals reliever Blaine Boyer grabbed the wheel and helped get the bus under control. The driver was said to be okay after the incident.
It sounds like Boyer kept the incident from potentially becoming a lot worse for everyone on the bus. He should probably get a save on the stat sheet for his heroics.
If things weren’t going bad enough, a huge chunk of ice flew off one of the Royals’ team buses and slammed into the windshield of the other last night. The shards hit the bus driver and reliever Blaine Boyer had to grab the wheel. The driver was OK. pic.twitter.com/b1kdSxqDQG

Blaine Boyer downplayed his role in helping the driver get the bus to the side of the road. He credited Fred, the bus driver, for staying alert: "He was a stud … That guy Fred was a trouper. He had shards in his face, and he was locked in on trying to get the bus slowed down."
