Baseball Injury Humor, 2009 (first half of season)
.
First prize:
Another great moment in Cub-dom: Pitcher Ryan Dempster tried to hop over the dugout fence to go high-five it up after a win, broke his toe and stumbled right onto the disabled list.
.
Dempster's best line (to the Chicago Sun-Times' Gordon Wittenmyer):
.
"I guess it's what I get for making fun of the guys who go on the DL for burning their faces in the suntan booth."
.
-------------
.
Second prize:
.
Reds outfielder Chris Dickerson knocked himself out of the lineup -- literally -- when he went mano-a-skullo with a revolving glass door at the team hotel in Pittsburgh. And lost.
.
"My real story," he quipped, "is I hit my head on the rim during a celebrity slam-dunk contest."
.
---------------
.
Third prize:
.
How did Blue Jays pitcher Ricky Romero land on the DL in April? He hipped and he hopped and he strained his oblique -- by sneezing while listening to rap music.
.
------------
.
Honorable mention:
.
Royals reliever Kyle Farnsworth needed stitches in his hand after getting cut trying to break up a fight between his two bulldogs.
.
Pirates second baseman Freddy Sanchez strained his back getting out of a cab -- and missed six straight games.
.
… And Phillies reliever Scott Eyre proved once and for all that running from the bullpen to the mound is overrated. He strained a calf muscle on the way -- and wound up on the disabled list.
