PLAYER NAME Injured in Grounds Crew Accident
PLAYER NAME suffered an unexpected injury yesterday morning during player warm-ups. As the players talked and stretched, the TEAM NAME's grounds crew practiced their 7th Inning Stretch "Rake and Dance" performance set to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up."
"I saw PLAYER NAME stretching his quads," said TEAMMATE. "Next thing I knew, PLAYER NAME was laid out near the batting circle with a rake upside the head."
Part of the dance included a section where the groundskeepers swung their rakes around their heads as if the tools were a Jitterbugging partner. One crew member, said TEAM OWNER, lost his grip.
Team officials insist the incident was an accident, despite recent reports that numerous players had approached management to criticize the quality of the field and its day-to-day upkeep.
"Accident or not," said TEAMMATE. "From now on, I'll wait until they're done dancing before I start my warm-ups."
EFFECTS
Slight concussion to random player
