Weird Baseball Injuries

Who doesn’t love baseball? Since we are little our parents teach us how to play catch and we keep fond memories of those runs in the park and we were extremely happy, the song itself says so “Take me out to the ball game, take me out with the crowd” just by singing those two phrases we got all excited. But baseball is not all fun and games, sometimes people do get hear during baseball games, and that my friends, is not a walk in the park…

The MLB has very serious rules set out for professional baseball games, but sometimes no matter how many preventive measures are taken, accidents just cannot be avoided, specially in the heat of the baseball game itself. Here is a short list of the worst baseball injuries known in Major League Baseball:

Nolan Ryan, amazing player for the MLB and the current president and former player of the Texas Rangers that once threw a near triple digit fastball, incredible enough he was also once sidelined after a coyote bit him in the hand. I’m telling you…accidents sometimes can’t be avoided.

During a rain delay, MLB’s Vince Coleman who played for the St. Louis Cardinals was once injured by of an automatic tarp during a warm up in 1985; the tarp ran over both his legs and chipped his knee. Accidents in the MLB can happen even during when there is no game.

And finally, the worst baseball injury I can remember: Chris Snyder, catcher from the Diamondbacks, took a foul tip straight to the…mmm…testicular area I guess, that apparently resulted in a fractured testicle, yes the worst MLB injury I can recall is a fractured testicle.

Well that was my small reminder to all you Major League Baseball fans to continue cheering for your favorite baseball players, since you never know when an accident might happen.
