This is obviously the leader in the clubhouse for best injury of the year.
Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports that Rays reliever Joel Peralta “hurt his neck getting out of the car when he stopped for sandwiches.”
I realize it’s only February 13, but that’s gonna be awfully tough to beat.
There is some good news, though. According to Topkin: “Peralta was still able to get the sandwiches ... and said they were good. Shouldn’t miss much time.”
Phew.
UPDATE: Peralta was driving a Camaro, which makes the whole thing even better.
