“Now, Victor is a powerful boy, and even his sneezes are powerful.”

Sammy Sosa strained his back ligaments in 2004 by sneezing, rendering him unable to play for 15 days. In 2015, Lindsey Vonn was hospitalized after she hurt her thumb breaking up a fight between her dogs. Michael Jordan severed a tendon in his finger in 1999 while cutting a cigar. Glenallen Hill, an outfielder for the Toronto Blue Jays, ended up with cuts and carpet burns after he tried to escape spiders in a nightmare in 1990. And in 1996, Bruce Walker, a defensive lineman for the New England Patriots, wound up with a chest injury while playing catch with a knife.

Last week, Croix Bethune, a midfielder for the Washington Spirit, injured her knee after she threw out the ceremonial first pitch at a Washington Nationals game. She will miss the remainder of the National Women’s Soccer League season.

    Also, my uncle broke his collar bone throwing a ball when he was a kid.
