Sounds like something that would happen to Howie.

Vernon would have hit Trout in eye with his gum, blinding him for several weeks.

 

And Tommy Hanson would have torn his rotator cuff throwing it.

[Brent Maguire]

I still don't think anything tops Andrus sitting because of the tattoo he got.

LOL... Kendrys anybody?...  Playing sports and living an active lifestyle will inevitably lead to some strange injuries...

Two weeks ago, I "sprained" my foot while running the bases during our Sunday baseball league game.  I went halfway to 2nd on a pop-up into Right-center field.  The outfielder dropped the ball, and I started for 2nd base.  It felt like I had popped all the knuckles in the balls of my left foot.  It's the strangest injury I've ever had; nobody had a name for it.

Forced me to DH yesterday...

Or Maicer Izturis.

Wasn't there somebody (I want to say Karim Garcia) who had to sit out a couple games due to excessive tanning?

Braves pitcher John Smoltz burned his chest trying to steam iron a shirt HE WAS WEARING AT THE TIME.  <<UPDATE: Smoltz has repeatedly and vehemently denied this, meaning it is almost certainly true...>>

Sosa to the DL for sneezing still is the tops for me.
