ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I'm trying to figure out if that is a preferred injury or not. Obviously you never want to mess with the brain, but it shouldn't hinder any baseball skills, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Any more good players/prospects want to break this season? Edited July 3, 2014 by Rowand44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Morneau went from the most feared hitter in the AL to almost out of the game to finally recovering this season in Colorado...but how often do you hear his name referred to like it was 5-7 years ago? Didn't Fernando Vina also have concussions after he got run over by Albert Belle? Edited July 3, 2014 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it's true that only one can mess you up, 99.9% of the time you're fine so long as you let it recover. Morneau had 100 when he was in hockey as a teen. That number isn't exactly, but it's a number that is not in binary code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it didn't affect Tom Glavine as much, or he was simply lucky not to get plunked too often in the head when batting or injured on the basepaths like Morneau.

Hockey is a violent game though. Koskie played hockey too and his career ended via concussion as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 4, 2014 -> 04:21 PM) Justin Morneau was the most feared hitter in the AL? MVP one year. "Most feared" is probably a slight exaggeration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
