The most highly anticipated rookie in baseball history is facing a possible season ending injury. Stephen Strasburg left the fifth inning of Saturday’s Washington Nationals’ game against the Philadelphia Phillies with a strained flexor tendon in his right forearm. He will undergo an MRI to see the severity of the injury.
The 22-year old has lived up to his hype with a 2.91 ERA and 92 strikeouts in 68 innings. Currently, the Nationals are in last place in the NL East and are 17 games out from 500.
Pete Rose was banned from baseball in 1989, still the Cincinnati Reds want to honor Rose for the 25th Anniversary of Rose setting the all-time hitting record. Rose broke Ty Cobb’s hitting record on Sept. 11, 1985. Four years later, Rose was banned from the league and any MLB sanctioned events, however the Reds still invited Rose to commemorate the anniversary. Not surprising, Rose had a prior commitment to be at a Kentucky casino, so naturally, the Reds reschedule the ceremony for the following day. God bless Amurica.
