Juan Gonzalez
Injuries aren't usually funny. But, you almost have to laugh at the Juan Gonzalez situation. He's spent much of the last three years dealing with injuries. After an absence of more than a year, he stepped up to the plate for the Cleveland Indians recently. The comeback was very short, as he hurt his hamstring running to first base in his first (and only) at-bat.
Are you kidding me? His comeback lasted just one at-bat, and he couldn't even make it 90 feet down the line. What's even funnier is that the Indians will likely activate Coco Crisp. I remember seeing Coco in the minors, and thinking he'd catch on in the bigs, just because of his name.
We'll never see a Betty Crocker in the bigs, but I hope to live long enough to see players named Captain Crunch and Lucky Charms.
