    Dickie Thon stopping a Mike Torres fastball with his eye socket back in '84 comes to mind.
     
  2. Vince Coleman's injury was freakish and couldn't come at a worse time ...

    Him and Bonilla's card games were dangerous.

    Tom Browning threw his arm out of the socket on a pitch in 1994. I'll never forget that.

    A reason to ban tarps on the field.

    I thought Griffey's wrist crunching in the Kingdome was pretty bad, too. The sound echoed, and you knew it was bad right away.
     
  7. A 20-year-old reason ...

    I was at the game in St. Pete when Saunders blew out his arm the first time. Since that place is NEVER full of fans you could hear the snap down the third-base line.

    Saunders was going to get my vote, but, well, I was too damn late.
