Nasty Sports Injuries

Extra painful considering this possibly cost us the National Championship:

Some baseball:

Edit: Looks like bran beat me to the Saunders/Browning/Dravecky video. Hate to see that happen to pitchers.

Joel Zumaya could go along with the pitchers video: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=9468883&c_id=mlb

Marlon Byrd hit in the face by a pitch: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=15040897&c_id=mlb

David Huff hit in head by line drive: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=8463537&c_id=mlb

It happened twice to Saunders--the one YouTube video has both incidents. Don't know if the second time was on his first game back or not.

Injury starts at the 1:00 mark

i was trying to find that one, that was one of the worst ones

I was at that game, it was probably the worst crowd reaction I've ever witnessed at a sporting event. Absolutely sickening feeling.

Another one I vividly remember goes too far back to find a video on, but this is a pretty good description of Mark Howe's injury during a Whalers game in Hartford:

http://flyers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=435635

But the events of December 27, 1980 forever changed Howe's career, and marked the beginning of the end of his tenure with the Whalers. On that night, Howe suffered a grisly injury that ultimately spurred the NHL to switch to safer nets.

"It really was an innocent play. I was back on defense on a three-on-two rush. I turned around to take away the passing lane. Tonto (John Tonelli of the Islanders), who I played with in Houston, bumped me from behind and I skidded into the net on my back," he says.

In this era, the NHL still used nets that were fastened to the ice on metal spikes. As Howe careened into the net, his skates lifted the goal post off the ice, exposing the spike below it. The spike impaled the player, narrowly missing his spinal column. A fraction of an inch difference could have left Mark Howe permanently paralyzed.

As it was, Mark knew he was in a heap of trouble. "I thought I had punctured my intestines. The trainer came out and I'm yelling, 'Cut off my pants!' I lost three and a half pints of blood that night."

Gordie rushed down to ice level from his seat in the press box to tend to his son, accompanying him to the hospital as Mark started to go numb from the pain. The two waited in the emergency room for over an hour after the attending physician was misinformed about the severity of the injury.

Exploratory surgery revealed the metal spike missed Howe's spine but had created a gaping laceration. Days later, the wound became infected. Mark, who ran fevers of 103 degrees and was too weak to get out of bed, required another procedure to clean out the abscess. Mark soon started to feel better. But he lost an unhealthy amount of weight and still felt weak.

"I always weighed myself in the locker room every day. On the night I got hurt, I weighed 192 pounds. Six weeks later, I weighed 176 pounds," he says.
