Hunter Pence Has Trouble With Sliding Glass Doors
Baseball February 19th. 2008, 12:14pm
Remember Clint Barmes tripping on deer meat and breaking his collarbone? Or John Smoltz scalding himself while ironing a shirt – that he was wearing? Or the time Sammy Sosa threw out his back while sneezing and missed a game?
Not nearly as bad, but still embarrassing: Hunter Pence (a guy who carried our fantasy team for the first half of last season) of the Astros will miss a week of spring training after walking into – and through – a sliding glass door. “It’s pretty silly to have this kind of freak accident happen,” Pence said. “I didn’t think I would go through a glass door. Normally, it wouldn’t shatter like that. Somehow, it shattered and I was stuck in the middle of a bunch of broken glass.” Pence, who called his parents before calling 911, will miss about a week of action.

John Smoltz ironed his clothes while wearing them?!?!?!?!?

hot tub + alcohol + (certainly) a girl…
I forgive you Hunter. So long as you hit .325 again. You gotta make up for Wandy Rodriquez.

Hunter Pence has the sensibility of a pigeon.

How old is this guy?
He needed his parents to tell him that when having shards of glass in you you should call 911?
Bahahahhahaha

Thank god he’s only gonna be out for a week. He’s one of the last decent prospects the Stros should spit our for awhile after Purpura fucked over our farm system.

One of the bigger risks to walking through a glass door is damage to the dong. I’m lighting a prayer candle for Hunter Pence.

Trade him to Japan.

Was he recreating a scene from Beverly Hills Cop?

@J Style – Why don’t you ask the banana in your tailpipe?

TBL, I am a fellow fantasy team owner who was carried by Pence in the first half. I fell to second in my roto league right at the end of the year because I had some scrub douche in CF for the second half.

I had the same reaction as cbh to the John Smoltz story… I get it, athletes aren’t always the smartest guys in the world, but ironing your shirt while you’re wearing it? Seriously?

Or the time I had sex with Paris Hilton and missed the final half of the season because it hurt too bad to pee.

I saw one of my frineds walk into and then through a door like this once, it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen…I know I am an ass.

I’ll admit it…I’ve walked into a glass storm door not knowing it was there. I chipped a front tooth.

The Smoltz thing is NOT true, by the way…at least I read that somewhere. It was first erroneously reported in SI many years ago…

@R. Mexico – Sorry it took me so long to reply I was having Pina Coladas with Serge.

He was surprised when he said “Door open” and nothing happened.

You forgot Mike Matheny slicing his hand open with a hunting knife he’d gotten for his birthday just before the 2000 playoffs.
