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.
