129 - Frostbite in August and other Bizarre Baseball Injuries
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Baseball players have found creative ways to sustain injuries through the years, from turning off the alarm clock to buttering a roll to taking a bite from a microwaved donut to playing Guitar Hero. The week, the Hooks & Runs crew examines these and other injuries and asks why baseball players are so susceptible to such bizarre mishaps. When, for example, is the last time you heard about a professional football or baseball player tearing a meniscus delivering a shaving cream pie to a teammate's face ... or for that matter, shaking hands.
