Shane Victorino was funny on Saturday when discussing his head-on smash into the left-field wall Friday while chasing a drive off the bat of the Texas Rangers’ Shin-Soo Choo in the top of the seventh inning of the Angels’ 5-2 victory. Victorino couldn’t make the catch and the ball went for an RBI triple.

Victorino was asked if he gets a kick out of running into walls and trying to knock them down.

“No, no, I don’t fall in love with all that kind of stuff,” he told reporters. “That stuff don’t excite me, banging on the wall or taking on a wall. It’s catching the baseball that I care about. Like last night, the biggest thing for me was not catching the ball. It hit my glove.

“The golden rule is to catch it. That’s the kind of stuff that is more upsetting to me than banging into walls.”
