Y’know these types of injuries would never fly in hockey. Hockey players take pride in their toughness and durability. Baseball players? Well…
- Roger Craig (Giants) - Cut his hand on a bra strap.
- Ryan Klesko (Braves) - Once overexerted himself and pulled a muscle while picking up his lunch tray.
- Wade Boggs (Red Sox) - Injured himself while pulling on his cowboy boots.
- Kevin Mitchell (Mets/Giants) - The master of all bizarre injuries, he once injured himself while eating a cupcake. That, of course, was when he wasn’t missing games because of vomiting-induced muscle strains, or strained eyelids.
- Ken Griffey, Jr. (Mariners) - Missed a game after suffering a pinched testicle from his protective cup.
- Jose Cardenal (Cubs) - Missed a game in 1974 because he couldn’t blink.
- Vince Coleman (Cardinals) - Missed the 1985 World Series after getting rolled up in the tarp machine.
- John Smoltz (Braves) - Once burned his chest while ironing a shirt, which he was still wearing.
- Carlos Perez (Expos) - Broke his nose in a car accident while trying to pass the team bus.
- Doc Gooden (Mets) - Missed a start when Vince Coleman accidentally struck him with a golf club in the clubhouse.
