July 3, 201411 yr Colleen Kane @ChiTribKane 25m White Sox also place OF prospect Courtney Hawkins on the disabled list in Class A Winston-Salem because of a concussion.
July 3, 201411 yr I'm trying to figure out if that is a preferred injury or not. Obviously you never want to mess with the brain, but it shouldn't hinder any baseball skills, right?
July 3, 201411 yr Any more good players/prospects want to break this season? Edited July 3, 201411 yr by Rowand44

Justin Morneau went from the most feared hitter in the AL to almost out of the game to finally recovering this season in Colorado...but how often do you hear his name referred to like it was 5-7 years ago? Didn't Fernando Vina also have concussions after he got run over by Albert Belle? Edited July 3, 201411 yr by caulfield12

While it's true that only one can mess you up, 99.9% of the time you're fine so long as you let it recover. Morneau had 100 when he was in hockey as a teen. That number isn't exactly, but it's a number that is not in binary code.

Guess it didn't affect Tom Glavine as much, or he was simply lucky not to get plunked too often in the head when batting or injured on the basepaths like Morneau.

Hockey is a violent game though. Koskie played hockey too and his career ended via concussion as well.

July 5, 201411 yr QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 4, 2014 -> 04:21 PM) Justin Morneau was the most feared hitter in the AL? MVP one year. "Most feared" is probably a slight exaggeration
