Yesterday, I talked about how Ken Griffey went down so many times in his career. Well, at least when he got hurt, he was playing his sport, unlike Padres shortstop Khalil Green. Green, who is one of the best defensive shortstops in baseball, broke his left hand punching a storage closet. The funniest part of this story was an ESPN The Magazine article written a couple years ago that talked about Green's odd sense of inner-peace. I guess he take the trippy surfer-boy out of Hawaii and he turns into a less offensive Bob Knight.
Some other athletes who have been injured in humorous ways:
Miami Dolphin David Bowens tore his ACL jumping off a ladder after changing a light bulb.
Washington Redskin Gus Frerotte got a concussion slamming his head against a concrete wall while celebrating a touchdown like he was a caveman.
Jacksonville Jaguar Chris Hanson gashed his foot when he swung an ax. The ax was in the locker room because coach Jack Del Rio decided it would boost morale with an old school "keep chopping wood" theme. Nice.
Sacramento King Lionel Simmons suffered wrist tendinitis after playing an excessive amount of Nintendo Game Boy.
