Baseball Vs Hockey

Was watching a Jays game last night and two players collided.  Well, sort of almost collided.

Not these two, but something similar.  But not as much of a collision.  Sort of a brush by by two of them.

Well, you should have heard the announcers going on about how dangerous that was and damaging that could have been.

If they had sprained or tweaked or scratched something they could have - both! - been out for goodness knows how long.

It reminded me of the Leafs recent playoff series against Boston.

James Van Riemsdyk had taken a stick to the nose and was bleeding like a stuck pig.

Did he go on the Disabled List?  To the locker room even?

No, they stitched him up - on the bench!  Quite the sight.

And back on the ice he went.

Had that been a baseball player, you can be sure he would have been out of action for a couple of months.  And then rehab, and then and then.....

But that's not hockey, eh?
