In honor of Brandon Inge's recent injury while moving a pillow I thought I would put together my list of the most ridiculous sports injuries. I am sure there are tons that I don't know about but here are my favorites.
10. Brian Griese trips over his pet poodle and sprains his ankle.
9. John Smoltz burns himself while ironing a shirt he was wearing.
8. Tom Glavine breaks a rib while vomiting up an inflight meal.
7. Brandon Inge pulls his oblique while readjusting a pillow on his couch.
6. Glenallen Hill, an extreme arachnaphobic had a nightmare about spiders and while fleeing the spiders he fell into a glass table and received multiple cuts over his entire body.
5. Denny McLain goes to sleep in good health and wakes up with four dislocated toes.
4. Muggsy Bogues misses the second half after accidentally inhaling the fumes from an ointment being used in a halftime treatment.
3. Adam Eaton stabs himself in the stomach with a paring knife trying to remove the packaging of a DVD.
2. Clarence "Climax" Blethen thought he looked meaner when he pitched without his false teeth in. Unfortunately for him he left them in his back pocket while sliding into second and he bit himself on butt.
1. Bret Barberie failed to wash his hands, after making nachos with hot sauce and chili peppers, before he put in his contact lenses. The extreme burning cause him to miss one game.
Honorable Mention: Chris Hanson misses while chopping wood and severely cuts his leg landing himself on the DL for the season; Lionel Simmons developed tendinitis from playing too many video games; Manny Cordova falls asleep in a tanning bed and receives burns so severe he has to miss time; Sammy Sosa sneezes multiple times in the clubhouse prompting a series of back spasms which puts him out of the lineup.
