For those protein wisdom readers who dig the baseball (and I suspect you’re legion), I provide you with this link to Gene Coleman’s list of the “Top 10 Weird Injuries In Professional Baseball.”

Not mentioned in Coleman’s round-up (but certainly deserving of the honor, I believe) is the back injury suffered by San Diego Padres outfielder Ryan Klesko a few years back. Klesko — then a member of the Atlanta Braves — hurt himself while hoisting his carb-glutted lunch tray at the local Sizzler. Seems Ryan got a bit too cocky at the all-you-can-eat salad bar. Doubtless it was the chick peas did that him in. Or maybe the sliced beets.
