Toe Injury?

 


Toe injury?

Are you kidding me?

In 1964 Bobby Baun scored a game winning goal in overtime in the playoffs on a broken leg.



He was carried off on a stretcher and was presumed to be out for the remainder of the series. 

During the intermission, Baun refused to have his ankle X-rayed. Instead, he insisted it be frozen and came out for the overtime session.


And scored the feakin' game winning goal.

And the Leafs went on to win the Stanley Cup.  On my birthday!

I'm guessing that some of today's players want a safe place to go to when they get a boo boo. Or an injured toe.

Don't get me wrong. Arron Judge is an amazing player and seemingly, one of the nicest players in baseball.

But come on, he's making $40 million a year!

And to go on the injured list - for a toe injury?!

The greatest generation consisted of 18 year olds storming the beach......
