Sosa missed last Sunday's game due to a pair of debilitating sneezes. : Surely, this one goes into the growing list of "weirdest baseball injuries" ever; though maybe not the all-time international list -- which has this classic.

From the ESPN link in the old thread...

Bench: Vince Coleman (Cardinals)
Missed the 1985 World Series after getting rolled up in the tarp machine

HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. I'd pay good money to see that.

I spent six months in rehab after sneezing one morning. Ruptured two disks in my lower back. I can definitely feel Sammy's pain.

Clearly, we need to add pepper to the list of banned substances.

Glennallen Hill once got injuried falling through a glass table after he was awakened by nightmares and thought he was covered in spiders.

ISTR a Marlin missed a game 6-7 years ago after eating a hot pepper and then immediately putting in his contact lenses. The eye inflammation cost him a game or two.

I think that's called, "delirium tremens."

I'm still waiting for the real story on David Wells' recent injury. Not a fight, my eye!

I think that's called "Dude, your acid dealer screwed you."

Sosa's going to the DL! That's a serious sneeze.

Wow. I'm amazed by all these sneeze injuries. The worst thing to ever happen to me is getting a large loogie on my pants.

Well, that didn't take long. Wells "tripped" over a bar stool.
