My morsels for today:
MLB: Baseball is renowned for its weird injuries, and now there are two more to report. Minnesota Twins centerfielder Carlos Gomez needed two stitches to close a cut in his eyebrow Monday after he ran into a revolving door while entering the Metrodome before a game against the Boston Red Sox. It seems someone squeezed into Gomez’s space in the door instead of waiting for the next one and the door stopped abruptly. Gomez ran into it and cut his head. It’s been that kind of season for Gomez, who is way better than his .225 batting average, no home runs and two RBI would indicate. The other bizarre injury was suffered by Detroit Tigers radio play-by-play announcer Dan Dickerson. He fell Tuesday while jogging outside the Tigers’ hotel in Kansas City and hurt his left leg so badly that he’ll need surgery back in Detroit. Dickerson is expected to be sidelined at least through the Tigers’ weekend series in Baltimore. The Detroit native replaced the legendary Ernie Harwell in the Tigers’ radio booth after Harwell retired following the 2002 season. Fox Sports Network television host and anchor John Keating is replacing Dickerson while he recuperates.
MLB: Remember the batting tear that Jason Giambi went on last season for the New York Yankees after he grew that horrific porn mustache? Giambi has taken a different hairy approach this year with the Oakland A’s, and it appears to be working. After darkening his goatee, he hit his 400th and 401st career homers last weekend against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He followed that up Tuesday night by smacking a two-run single that capped a four-run seventh inning rally and gave the A’s a 4-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners. Giambi, who is hitting .221, became the 44th player to hit 400 homers. Arizona pitcher Dan Haren was the victim.
That’s all for now. See you later.
