Weird Injury Of The Offseason

Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter suffered a bizarre injury while on a fishing trip to the Amazon with his pals Roy Halladay and B.J. Ryan:

↵Carpenter was moving from one boat to another one afternoon and cracked his toe on the side of the boat; it was all swollen and black and blue the next morning.↵Sounds like he’s going to be OK. The details of the fishing trip (“Along with the fishing, we decided to go hunting one night, and Carpenter and B.J. both shot a caiman; which is like an alligator.”) are worth reading.
