Hangnails, paper cuts, torticollis on the neck… annoying and painful little things for everyone, but in reality these little things are not a big deal, we can cut the hangnail, put a Band-Aid on the cut and get out of the torticollis in a few minutes . But professional baseball players are different. It seems like it’s always MLB players that we hear about missing a game over something we’d consider trivial. Like Ubaldo Jimenez, who was placed on the disabled list by a stepfather last year. Either that or they get injured foolishly, sacrificing playing time for which they are paid millions.

Pitchers who have a blister on their pitching hand are considered serious enough to sit a couple of games on the disabled list, because it can really affect their pitch. Pitcher Clay Buchholz apparently has a chronic blister problem according to the Boston Red Sox IL, and last year’s NBC Hardball talk reported that Kerry Wood of the Chicago Cubs pitched through a blister (and it was fine). before being placed on the disabled list for about a week. . While we know blisters can be painful, it’s definitely only in MLB that players get to sit through it.

On a more fun note, there have historically been some pretty ridiculous injuries that players have picked up. Sammy Sosa once sneezed violently on the sidelines and missed the rest of the game due to back spasms. Matt Latos tensed his left side holding back a sneeze… who knows what would have happened if he had let it go! Russel Branyan once stubbed his toe while closing his hotel curtains and was on the disabled list for two days in 2010. Ken Griffey Jr. missed a game when his cup slipped and pinched his testicle and in 1990 outfielder Glenallen Hill, a Blue Jays rookie at the time, couldn’t play because he was injured while trying to escape a nightmare about spiders.

So there are the understandable, pathetic and just plain dumb injuries in baseball. Not that we’ve ever heard of players in the NFL, NBA or NHL who do something small like this and don’t get over it. Muscle tears, surgeries, and broken bones are another ball game (pun intended), but come on, MLB…a stepdad or a stubbed toe? Looks like it’s time to toughen up.
