Conjunctions, conjunctions. Everybody loves em...

So I know this is old news by now, but it's been well documented that Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez lost a bit of time this spring with Conjunctivitis, commonly known as Pink Eye. Today was the first time I've seen him pitch this spring and it got brought up during the game. I tried to think back to the last time I had Pink Eye and the last I can remember was when I was in friggin' Elementary school! It's just so random that THAT got me thinking this...

What are some of the strangest

Most off the wall

Double you Tee Eff

Baseball injuries ever documented?

I did some research and found some good ones. I'm not trying to say that these are THE top strange injuries, nor are they listed in any paticular order. Just some of my favorite ones I found.

To help fuel the post, I'll include some nice card pics of '09 Mets who fell to the plague.

Bret Barberie
Barberie was preparing tacos and touched his eyes without washing them and the chili peppers and hot sauce burned his eyes.



Sammy Sosa
Sammy Sosa suffered back spasms after sneezing in the dugout.



Denny McLain
Denny McLain's strange baseball injury is very mysterious. One night Denny McLain went to bed completely healthy. The next night McLain woke up with four dislocated toes. Only one explanation, Lawn Gnomes.




Glenallen Hill
Glenallen Hill was sleeping on his couch one night when he had a nightmare about spiders. It startled him and he fell through the glass table next to the couch. THANK GOD I've never had a spider nightmare. Joe dosen't do spiders. If I had a spider nightmare, I'd be breaking shit too...




Marty Cordova
Marty Cordova stayed in a tanning bed for too long and his face was too burned to play the next day.



Freddie Fitzsimmons
Freddie Fitzsimmons was sitting in a rocking chair sleeping when he crushed his own fingers underneath the chair. Fucking Lawn Gnomes!!!!!!



Clarence Blethen
Clarence Blethen was a pitcher that thought he looked a lot meaner if he took out his false teeth. Blethen put his false teeth in his back pocket and when he later slid into second base, his own teethe bit him in the ass.




Doc Gooden
Missed a start when Vince Coleman accidentally struck him with a golf club in the clubhouse.
