We've had plenty of other injuries - concussions, broken noses, blown knees, fractured orbital bone, broken fingers.....but here's my honest opinion. I think that too many professional athletes in all sports are soft. They have a little booboo that may hamper their performace a bit. They don't want to look bad or have a bad night and deal with the media, so unless they are absolutely 100 percent, they won't play. You see the athletes that play through injury and pain - like Kirk Gibson in the 1988 (was it 1988, you Dodger fans) coming to the plate and hitting that homerun. Too many of them are soft pansies. Not just baseball, but all sports.
