Jim Fainter Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 The current thread on Joe Borchard's injury got me thinking about humorous injuries. There's been a bunch of them. Farnsworth punting a baseball and hurting his foot qualifies. Another involved an ex-Cub, outfielder Henry Cotto. He was sitting on the bench cleaning his ears with Q-Tips, went too far and punctured an ear drum, thus landing on the DL. If you have any, let's hear them.

Well in the NFL there was the placekicker on the Cardinals (the brother of Martin Grammatica) who f***ed up his leg while celebrating after kicking a field goal.

whitesox247 Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 I heard J.T. Snow was hit with his own foul ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clujer420 Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 I heard J.T. Snow was hit with his own foul ball. That hurts like hell. I fouled 3 off my foot in a 10 minute period one time in the batting cages, and I was done. Very painful if you get it on top of the foot. Tons of little bones in there that can go snap, crackle, pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bighurt52235 Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 I've actually never done that, thank God. However, I was at the cages once, on the hard thrower (80) and I fouled one off of my stomach! It hurt pretty bad. I also umpire Little League, and I once umped a game where a kid fouled one off his own face! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Fouling a ball off your leg isn't a stupid injury.. you want stupid? Adam Eaton cut his stomach with a knife trying to open a box of DVD's Steve Finley broke bones in his hand taking ornaments off his xmas tree Kent got hurt "washing his car" ya that's a lie Of course Farnsy punting baseballs I can't remember which pitcher it was but he hurt his back years ago...getting out of a recliner!
