Zach Davies gave Chase Anderson the perfect gift to commemorate a very awkward slide
The slide at home was off
To commemorate the slide, Davies gifted some artwork that showed off the slide perfectly -- nose touch and all:

"I think the biggest thing was, my decision-making was late and I went down late to slide and didn't have my feet where I needed to have my feet," Anderson told MLB.com's Adam McCalvy following the slide. "I think my left foot hit the plate and slipped a little bit, and I had to brace myself with my left hand and I hit my nose. That jarred me up a little bit."
Don't worry, the Brewers pitcher was fine, but that didn't stop his teammates from joking he should be bubble-wrapped next time he approaches the plate.
