Weird Career Ending Injuries

bbergin76 · 08-26-2003, 01:42 PM

I copied and pasted an injury.txt file that someone had posted awhile back and noticed two career ending injuries in my solo league that were pretty funny...one doesn't seem like it would end a career. None of these happened to my team but to other teams in the league.

A starting pitcher and a third baseman both had their careers ended early with a smokeless tobacco addiction.

A starting pitcher had his career ended early by the dreaded broken finger injury.

Both of these seemed pretty funny. Maybe a scientist will come up with some kind of smokeless tobaccoless chew for the first two players. I hope medicine will come up with an artificial finger soon so the second pitcher can maybe get back in to the game.

Wasn't there a mets pitcher whose career suffered recently when he tried to quit smokeless tobacco? who was that?

I've had guys spontaneously combust.

I've also had a guy whose head impaled on a fence.

I've also had a guy eaten by locusts.

You can put all sorts of fun career ending injuries in that thing. I only wish you could edit how often particular injuries occur, because I've had multiple guys spontaneously combust in a year. It was like an epidemic.

He probably just had to sleep it off in detox for a few days.

This is too funny.

andjbock · 08-26-2003, 04:55 PM

i have numerous ones that i cannot repeat on this board, but everytime i see one of them come up, it makes me laugh.

On a side note I've had an increasing amount of players who have been stabbed by a stalker in the middle of a play. It's by far the most 'popular' injury in my league. Quite a bit of players are injured when they are overcome by vapors. I guess by 2008 baseball stadiums have bad ventilation.

I don't know what's with these two injuries but the majority of injuries in my league seem to be these.
