The other day I paid a visit to the dentist for a cleaning and to wrestle with a crown gone mad. It was a two-hour voyage in the chair as most of the time I had to turn my head to the right, which resulted in one--- very--- sore--- neck. Once home the Advil flowed and I took to the heating pad to rid myself of the headache and pain in my neck. Yet after a few hours, I was still on the Disabled List. If there would have been an afternoon game I was a definite scratch. For a night game I could have suited up, but I would not have moved around very well. Which brings us to Chris Brown. According to the Sports Illustrated piece that is linked below, Brown "once begged out of a minor league game because he said he'd strained his eyelid by 'sleeping on it funny.'" An eyelid? Come on. Well, I proved to be game ready by the next day, though I am not sure where I would have ranked in this group of 30 "strange injuries" that happened to Major League Players as presented by SI. Enjoy.
