AP[/url]"]HOUSTON -- Texas Rangers third baseman Hank Blalock, who has had shoulder discomfort in recent days, will have surgery to remove a rib Monday and could be out up to three months.

........

Instead, team officials said Friday he had been diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, which affects the nerves that pass through the shoulder into the neck. The surgery will remove a rib on the right side of his upper chest.

Yuck.

Haha, I remember hearing that when I was a kid and had completely forgotten about it, good to know those kids were lying to me.

It's the same surgery by the same surgeon that Kenny Rogers had in 2001. Kenny seemed to come back alright.

so we can expect Blalock to be punching cameramen in 3-4 months?
