Is it just me or?

I think baseball injuries come about because of the grind. It may be the least physical sport but these guys do it day in and day out for almost an entire year.

That plus the fact that baseball players don't have six days to heal between games.

I think another aspect of baseball that causes players to be injured is just the nature of the game. In baseball there is a lot of standing and waiting around. Then when the ball is put into play, the players are going from a very inactive state to a full-out sprint. This sudden movement has to be the cause of some of the hamstring/leg issues that we see a lot of. In most other sports, the athlete has a chance to move around before turning it on to a full 100% effort.

I once saw a hockey player AND a baseball player BOTH pull a hammy while standing up from a celebrity poker table after a hand had been suspensfully played out. LOL
