1 March 2298 - Bloodbugs Minor Leaguer Hurt in Land Mine Blast
Malden Grognaks relief pitcher Dan Flory became the next victim in a dangerous 2297-2298 offseason. Luckily for him, he was not the main victim in today's accident.
On a post-practice trek to Relay Tower OMC-810, Flory and three acquaintances ran into trouble when one stepped on a landmine. All four young men ran away as fast as they could, but three seconds do not get you very far.
All four men survived, but all suffered shrapnel injuries. Flory had the least severe injuries, but he will still miss some time since the shrapnel poses threats to his internal organs.
