Worst Injury?

PrintSo last years ROY Chris Coghlan is on the DL with a torn meniscus, and may require surgery following a Pie-in-the-face gone horribly wrong.
So the question is this, is it worse to get hurt celebrating your teammates game winning hit or celebrating your own homer like Kendry Morales did?
(FILLER) Also, did anyone else see "Pie in the face goes wrong" in a headline and instantly think Felix did something naughty?

My two favorites
Gramatica jumping in the air to celebrate his game-winning FG, only to land and blow out the ligaments in his knee.
Also, Gus Frerotte head-butting the goalpost padding was classic!

As a DC local
The Frerotte thing was epic. He had just taken the job from top pick Heath Shuler and was the star of the local media.
As they say, in Washington the two most important jobs are the President of the U.S. and the QB of the Redskins.
It wasn't the goal post
It was a concrete wall. And that was arguably not even the stupidest thing Gus Frerotte ever did on the football field.

Non-Clebratory
When John Smoltz burned himself when he was ironing a shirt he was wearing.

Sparks
Steve Sparks damaged his shoulder trying to tear a phonebook in half. I think that might be why he had to take up the knuckle ball (could be wrong about that).

I think that is one of the standard "PR" injuries
hurt while sneezing is one of the many where a guy gets in a bar fight (or other sordid episode) and the PR department has to think of some reason why they miss a game or 5.
Not this one
In his case, it was a totally made up injury. The Padres wanted to give him a break with their off days around the all star break and rather than optioning him to the minors (and screwing with his major league service time in a way that might piss him off) declared him injured. The advantage of being ignored by the media is not generating the same kind of ****storm the Mets did when they declared Ollie injured earlier this year.

How about Jeff Kent and his ATV or motorcycle accident?
Also you can’t forget about Kellen Winslow and Jay Williams of the Chicago Bulls on their motorcylces.

Glenallen Hill FTW
in the non-celebratory category, Mr. Hill’s arachnophobic-nightmare induced lacerated foot was always my favorite off-field injury (or at least, my favorite made up story to explain an off-field injury).
On-field, the fastest guy in the game being unable to escape from a menacing tarp roller and thus missing the postseason always struck me as particularly awful.

Bobby...
…Ojeda. Chopping off a few digits right before the playoffs in ’88 while trimming the hedges. Yikes..
Fun thread
To bad no one actually answered the question I posed.
Still, lots of great post. I’m thinking of tossing something like this up every week if people enjoy them. I’m not a deep enough thinker to do my own rankings so this will be my way of contributing.
The shaving cream pie is worse
By far worse, because it’s a far stupider thing to be doing in the first place. I have a deep hope that this will be the last of that STUPID “prank” that’s suddenly become the thing to do in the last 18 months.
(and, no, I’ve not been know to yell GET OFF MY LAWN!)
