You can vote here for new Phillies pitcher Adam Eaton in an AOL poll of the all-time dumbest sports injuries. Eaton is nominated for an embarrasing mishap in 2001 when, as a member of the San Diego Padres, he accidentally stabbed himself in the stomach with a paring knife while trying to open the plastic security wrap on a DVD.Seriously.
You can't make this stuff up.
But Eaton isn't a lock to win the "award." Other nominees include former Redskins QB Gus Frerotte for ramming his head into a concrete wall and giving himself a concussion, former Blue Jays OF Glenallen Hill for sleepwalking into a glass table and down a flight of stairs, and my personal favorite, OF Sammy Sosa for sneezing so hard during a conversation with reporters that he began having back spasms so severe he had to go on the disabled list.
I guess some athletes really are allergic to the media.
