The Cubs have suffered a spate of unfortunate and somewhat bizarre injuries already this spring. Alfonso Soriano has a fractured finger. Jose Ascanio had a bruised face after getting punched in a robbery attempt. Mark DeRosa was hospitalized with an irregular heartbeat. But none has a painful tale as twisted as poor outfielder Felix Pie.

That's right: Pie missed a couple of early games because of a twisted testicle. 100% Injury Rate, aptly named to take up this task, exhumes some of the more freakish injuries athletes have suffered over the years.

Among them:


Sacramento Kings rookie Lionel Simmons missed some games during the 1991 season when he developed tendinitis in his right wrist from playing too many video games, primarily the Nintendo GameBoy.

Wade Boggs injured his back while trying to pull on cowboy boots.

Back in the 70s, Norwegian International defender Svein Grondalen had to withdraw from an International after an accident which happened while he was out jogging. He collided with a moose.

Soccer player David Seaman once broke a bone reaching for his TV remote
