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.
