Weird Injuries In Baseball

Attack of the deadly tarp

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Vince Coleman was minding his own business on the Busch Stadium field before Game 4 of the 1985 NLCS. A light rain fell. Soon, Coleman fell.
Unprovoked, the electronically operated tarp went after him. It rolled over his left leg and pinned him to the turf. Workers finally freed Coleman, but not before the speedy lead-off hitter suffered a postseason-ending knee injury.
"That tarp was a real man-eater," Coleman later quipped.
