It's not that I think he's faking...still, so many of his injuries seem to occur at the height of some of his most highly-publicized controversies. Could it even be stress playing a role?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That's a good question. It seems weird that a world-class athlete just gets hurt so much. Does anyone know if it's a specific recurring injury, or if it's just a number of small, situational things?
I'm not denying that people are built differently...Cal Ripken's teammates often said that he was practically a different species. But before I signed Bradley, a 31 year-old ballplayer to a 3-year deal, I'd certainly like an explanation as to why he misses so damn many games.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
