Strange but true baseball injuries

Jose Guillen, a former Cincinnati Reds outfielder now with Kansas City, could miss up to 10 weeks with a torn right knee ligament sustained while trying to put on a shin guard. As weird baseball injuries go, does it measure up to these?

1. Rickey Henderson missed several games with frostbite. In August.

2. Vince Coleman missed the 1985 World Series when he got rolled up in the tarp machine.

3. Kevin Mitchell strained a muscle vomiting.

4. Doc Gooden missed a start when Coleman hit him in the shoulder with a golf club.

5. Mickey Tettleton went on the DL with athlete's foot caused by tying his shoes too tight.

6. Bob Feller scalded himself with 200-degree water in a whirlpool. He couldn't do anything for a week.

7. Ted Power pulled a hamstring jumping up to join a brawl.

8. Glenallen Hill missed a few games after falling out of bed — and through a glass table — while dreaming that spiders were devouring him.
