If the game does distinguish between outstanding catches and normal ones, I imagine it might also make injuries more common on the former, though I've never done any tests to check (and I think that would be time-consuming). My initial suspicion is that Rich is probably right, that an F8 produces an injury equally often regardless of the pbp, but I'm curious enough now to at least try to look into it.

And let's not forget the ole injury to runner after hitting an extra base hit. I have 3 guys who went out at various times (2 went out 3 times, the other twice) this season after hitting doubles or triples. Oddly, those are the only injuries I have had on my team.
I have seen opponents get injured on HBP, and pitchers get injured. Oddly, none of my pitchers has gotten injured even a day to day.
