The Bro’s Code Guide To: Freak Sports Injuries
The Detroit Free Press is reporting today that Tigers backup catcher Brandon Inge will be placed on the Disabled List due to an injury he suffered while pillowing his 3 year old son. (Fans of the 1980’s mini-series “Shogun” will get that joke, which basically means just me.)
Does this mean that the Tigers’ injury report will look something like this?
Sheffield, 15 Day DL (shoulder), Verlander, day to day (wrist), Inge, 15 Day DL (pillow)
Here are some other freak injuries (or just really lame excuses) that we have seen in recent years…
Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa suffered back spasms due to sneezing.
Giants second baseman Jeff Kent (millionaire) decided to wash his own truck. He fell off of it and broke his wrist.
Redskins QB Gus Frerotte thought celebrating a TD by head-butting a wall was a good idea.
Jaguars punter Chris Hanson decided to do his best Paul Bunyan impersonation.
Padres Outfielder Milton Bradley tore his ACL and was out for the season thanks to his decision to argue a call at first base.
And finally, Orioles Outfielder Marty Cordova didn’t use enough sunscreen.
Any others you guys can think of?
