One injury can ruin an athlete’s career or a team’s season. So it just smarts that much more when they hurt themselves in a ridiculous way. Take the quiz and see if you can match the athlete to their bizarre injury.
No comments. I was surprised since the quizzes are usually popular. But only nerds read this and what do we care or know about sports? I only played baseball once and never even scored a touchdown.

John, You don’t score touchdowns in baseball. You score touchdowns in …. Um…. Uh…. soccer?

My favorite bad sports injury occurred in the 1970’s. The Buffalo Sabres were doing really well until they lost winger Rick Martin to a fluke knee injury. He slipped in the shower at the Memorial Auditorium on a bar of soap. Season over.
