Hey, this is a article that I'm particularly proud of, and I think you will enjoy it. It looks at some of the strangest injuries to ever occur in baseball history, there certainly are some strange ones.

As always any feedback/support would be appreciate, and would like to get this article around BR, so if you could tell a friend who might tell a friend. Then that would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hey man

Would really appreciate it if you could take the time to read my latest article. I think that while we live in the FA craze, sometimes it is easy to forget that re-building from within is a very real possibility and sometimes preferable. Here are some of the guys the Cubs fans should be paying attention to:

Ryan,

I have been quiet on B/R for sometime now, you know, dealing with post-football season depression.
Anyway, I am getting back to it and have come up with a great idea for a series. You do not understand how much I would appreciate you helping out.

-David
