Just a link from the people at Mental Floss as we prepare ourselves for the Cardinals-Brewers game tonight. They do God’s work.
I had forgotten all about the “Ken Griffey Jr. pinched his testicle” thing. That proves that my mind is doing its best to protect me from awful, awful thoughts.

Adrian Beltre also had a horrific testicle injury while playing for the Mariners. Free agents beware!

I can’t believe they’d leave out Joel Zumaya’s Guitar Hero incident.

I’d have thought Sammy Sosa throwing out his back sneezing would have made the cut.

I don’t remember if it caused him to miss a start, but John Smoltz burned himself trying to iron his shirt.. while wearing it..

Lew Ford supposedly did as well. Same stupidity, lesser profile.

How, HOW in tarnation do you dislocate a thumb while putting on socks? What in the blazes where Randy Johnson’s socks made of? Chain mail?
At any rate, just a great link. I laughed and laughed at the misfortune of others. Why? Because it didn’t happened to me, that’s why.

Let’s not forget Jeremy Affeldt’s losing battle with frozen hamburger patties.
Seriously? Frozen hamburger patties?

Guh? How on earth did they leave out Vince Coleman and the killer tarp?
For those of you who don’t know, Cardinals rookie speedster Vince Coleman stole a whopping 110 bases in 1985 (and did so with just a .320 OBP). On the eve of the World Series, he was run over by Busch Stadium’s automatic tarp…which traveled at roughly 1 mile per hour. He tore some ligaments and missed the series.
