Pitcher John Smoltz of the Atlanta Braves once missed several starts (before he became a relief pitcher) because he tried to "touch up" his shirt with an iron while wearing it. True -- burned himself too badly to pitch.
Baseball players have the most bizarre accidents -- like the one (Wade Boggs?) who injured himself so badly putting on cowboy boots that he had to go on the injured reserve list. Believe he tripped and knocked himself out on a the edge of a tabletop. Or (not so bizarre) the Mets pitcher who cut off a finger with a power weed trimmer. Or the OTHER Atlanta Braves pitcher in the 1970s who, when out to dinner with some teammates, wanted to prove he could still dunk a basketball. So he jumped up with his hand extended, caught his college ring on the awning, and ripped his ring finger off.
Betcha they ban lava lamps from Major League clubhouses after this.
