My Top 5 Favorite Sports Injuries

Welcome to the big leagues, Barbaro. Whether you like it or not, you've entered my list of greatest sports injuries.

Move over, Joe Theismann.

There's no question about it. When a woman I work with compared Barbaro's injury to Tyrone Prothro's broken leg, and, I realized CNN was running constant updates on Barbaro's condition, it hit me.

Barbaro will be remembered for a long time.

Anyway, in the spirit of the first animal to join the fraternity of legendary sports injuries, I give you my top 5 sports injuries of all time.

5. Tim Krumrie’s broken leg, 1989 - Nothing beats a Super Bowl, unless it’s a Super Bowl with a hide-your-face injury. Super Bowl XXIII had that. Cincinnati nose guard Tim Krumrie got his foot stuck in the turf and his ankle and lower leg spun around in a nauseating 180-degree rotation as both bones in his calf were shattered. They even had super slow motion replays, which precipitated millions of living rooms across the U.S. to simultaneously scream “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.” Krumrie had a 15-inch rod inserted into his leg (stop laughing) and was never effective in comeback.

4. Barbaro’s broken leg, 2006 - Do you think more people would be upset this week if Barbaro died, or if Barry Bonds died? If it was Barry Bonds in the Preakness, he probably would have been shot in the back of the head on the track. Not Barbaro. A horse who shattered his leg in over 20 places on national TV in one of the biggest races of the year gets a second chance. Of course, his sperm is likely worth millions of dollars, so you really can't just kill him. I guarantee you prior to his 7-hour surgery they withdrew a couple of loads from him to freeze just in case.

3. Dave Dravecky’s broken arm, 1989 - Boy, 1989 was a great year to be alive, eh? Dravecky, a San Francisco Giants pitcher, was making his second start in his return from cancer. It was a moving moment. However, in the sixth inning at Montreal, he gave up a home run to the leadoff batter, hit the second batter, and in his first pitch to Tim Raines, his humerus bone snapped. The bone in his arm basically shattered while he was pitching. His arm flailed and he tumbled off the mound in his follow-through. Sadly, Dravecky broke his arm a second time during the celebration of the Giants winning the pennant later that season. He would eventually have the arm amputated due to a cancerous tumor.
2. Tyrone Prothro’s broken leg, 2005 - This one gets a 9 on the puke-o-meter. The first time you saw it in slow motion you felt that swiss melt from lunch lurching back up your esophagus. It was downright nasty. The injury occurred in the fourth quarter of Alabama’s 33-3 win over Florida last October in Tuscaloosa. The Crimson Tide were trying to run the score up late when Prothro, one of the best receivers in the nation, came down awkwardly on his leg. The skin was completely broken where his leg snapped. In some shots you can see the white of his bone protruding out. The most fascinating part of it, however, was the slow motion replay provided by CBS. As Prothro lands and realizes the bottom half of his leg is dangling like a slinky, the cameras are zoomed in on his face. He looks like has just been shot. His face looks of total shock. Almost panic. Amazing.

1. Clint Malarchuk’s sliced jugular vein, 1989
- Malarchuck, a goalie for the Sabers in 1989, had his jugular vein slashed open in a freak accident when St. Louis’ Steve Tuttle slid skates-first into his neck. Malarchuk’s blood gushed like a fountain creating a pool of blood on the ice. The incident caused nine fans to faint while two suffered heart attacks. Two Sabers players vomited. Malarchuk, miraculously, survived after a St. Louis trainer, a former Vietnam vet, slowed the bleeding by applying pressure to the wound. Doctors sewed Malarchuk’s jugular back together and he played later that season. Atta babe, Clint!

Ergh some of those injuries are horrific, a couple of which I'd not actually heard of before. All of these are extreme cases of a sports injury, yet minor injuries like sprains, tears and fatigue, can all be avoided with an effective and thorough warm-up.

Focusing on the tighter muscles is usually the best way to warm-up, to avoid aggravating them during exercise.
