Land shark?

Nope, it was a shark attack. Type of shark was not specified however.

If these events are actually happening I think we have an issue with realistic off season injuries.

Then again maybe I should wait until I actually get to sit donw and play the game before I comment. I downloaded this darn thing on Thursday, and have only gotten as far as an install because of school. Hopefully his week I might actually be able to play.

I had a guy in my first league break his hand high-fiving a teamate.

IRL didn't Steve Olin (Indians Pitcher I think) drown in an unfortunate fishing accident? Or was that a plane crash.... Man, am I that old now?

Assos · 03-26-2007, 12:55 PM

Fishing... Him and Tim Crews. Bobby Ojeda was injuried.

TwinMonster · 03-26-2007, 01:01 PM

Yes. That's right. In spring training. And lest we forget that Aaron Boone lost a season to a pick-up basketball game....

lewis31lewis52 · 03-26-2007, 01:02 PM

Lest we forget Smoltz ironing his clothes while still wearing them?

TwinMonster · 03-26-2007, 01:10 PM

And I thought only football players were that stupid

Exactly what I was thinking of.

Assos · 03-26-2007, 01:36 PM

Ojeda had two freak accidents. The one from above and I believe in 1989, before the start of the season, he was cutting his bushes and got a little too close to his fingers.

I'm not sure about the shark, but there are different injuries happening to players in my historical simulation:

- injured while angrily throwing his controller while playing a video game
- his son jumped on him from a couch while he was lying on the floor
- while shaking hands during a meet and greet

SDtwin · 03-26-2007, 01:51 PM

These are in game! I read the off- field injuries text file to make sure. Some awesome one in there.

The three were fishing/drinking when the boat that I think Tim Crews was driving smashed into an unlighted dock.

Teyeler · 03-26-2007, 03:12 PM

I had a guy injured while playing Dodgeball with teammates and he was out for a week

TwinMonster · 03-26-2007, 03:50 PM

Those are some great injuries. Guess I'll lay off joining that dodgeball team this summer

DekerJohn3 · 03-26-2007, 05:34 PM

In my league, one team had a guy out for four days with a fractured finger after being robbed at gunpoint during the offseason.

disposableheros · 03-26-2007, 06:04 PM
