All-time stupidest Baseball injuries

[The Voice of Reason]

At last, a baseball category where the Cubs representation is near the top. I posted this link in the Transactions/Press Releases thread but after careful consideration, I think it is very funny and deserving of it's own thread. As always, I defer to the the Mods.

Jose Cardenal (Chicago Cubs) – Missed a game in 1974 because he couldn’t blink.

 

This injury never stopped David Aardsma

Where's Shawon Dunston's back injury from lifting his kids from the car?

Lou really needs to find a spot on his staff for Roger Craig.

 

 

Manager - Roger Craig (San Francisco Giants)

 

Cut his hand…while undoing a bra strap. Awesome.

Haha, I got a laugh out of this:

 

Outfield: Rickey Henderson (Toronto Blue Jays) – Missed several games because of frostbite…in August…caused by falling asleep on an ice pack.

My favorite.

 

Bench: Kevin Mitchell (New York Mets) – Taken out by a microwaved donut. I have no idea how this happened.

Mitchell once broke a tooth eating a frozen chocolate donut that he put in the microwave too long and it hardened. He was later spotted with a gold tooth as the replacement.

[Sammy Sofa]

Designated Hitter: Glen Allen Hill (Toronto Blue Jays) – One of the most painful, Hill went on the DL after suffering cuts caused by crashing through a glass table while dreaming that he was being attacked by spiders.

 

I swear that was a plot point in one of those hilarious anti-drug short films from ye olden days.

John Smoltz (Atlanta Braves) – Once burned his chest while ironing a shirt…while he was still wearing it.

 

Let me repeat that:

 

John Smoltz (Atlanta Braves) – Once burned his chest while ironing a shirt…while he was still wearing it.

 

No, really...re-read it:

 

John Smoltz (Atlanta Braves) – Once burned his chest while ironing a shirt…while he was still wearing it.

 

Wow.

[OleMissCub]

Who was the guy who tore a ligament shoveling snow last year?

Wow.

 

I attempted to do this. And it works quite well.

I try it too, and toasted my nipple.

Barmes + Deer Meat = Bad

My personal favorite:

 

Middle Reliever: Clarence Blethen (Boston Red Sox): Took out his false teeth because he thought he looked older and meaner. However, he forgot to put them back in his mouth when he was batting. While sliding into second base to break up a double play, he literally bit himself in the ass.

[CubmanPi]

Carlos Zambrano (Chicago Cubs) – Diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome…after spending too much time online.

 

If this doesn't prove Big Z is a closet NSBB'er, I don't know what does.

[Master Shake]

Z digs teh pr0n!

Z = gooney.

 

Shhhhhh.

[sherwood921]

This has always been my favorite...he plays baseball in the summer...in the sun...why does he need to fake bake?

 

Outfielder: Marty Cordova (Baltimore Orioles): Missed a game after burning his face…after spending too much time under a tanning lamp.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Who was the guy who tore a ligament shoveling snow last year?

 

Me. Hence the new snowblower.

[swordsman]

Ken Griffey, Jr. (Seattle Mariners) – No stranger to injury, Griffey once missed a game after suffering a pinched testicle from his protective cup. OW!
