Sports Injuries Gallery (NSFW; Well-Behaved and Unannoying Porn Ads): Oh, the Leg Breaks gallery is always fun for the whole family. My all time favorite is the Sid Vicious break. Unfortunately, no slow-motion video with 10 minute excruciating descriptions from color commentary people that we're all so used to.
Oh man, that's some stomach churning stuff. Theisman, Ventura and Sid Vicious were probably the nastiest things I've ever seen. And a shout out to alex_reno from another Scoresheet Canada player. Represent! I assume you're on the Scoresheet-talk email list, right?

As a guy who double-clutched himself when Alou left most of his career on the turf at Busch Stadium, I couldn't look at the really graphic sections. SF, what's with all the soccer guys with no underwear?

Going waaaay OT... Actually, I stopped playing Scoresheet this year, because like almost everyone in my field, (IT) I am out of a job. I was on scoresheet-talk for a couple of years in the 90's (got slapped down by Gary Huckabay once, yay me. I was completely wrong, too.) but I eventually couldn't stand the volume of mail. Of course, now my email gets 20 pieces of spam a day, so baseball stuff would be a welcome relief. What team was yours? Would I know it? I was NL Reese 5. (Topeka Narwhals) We had a couple of years where we made some of Scoresheet's best lists. And accrued a trophy! (2 of my friends are in my league, one has been playing for over a decade, and neither have that cheesy Scoresheet Trophy. Ha!) Lex

What, no Moises Alou? I nearly threw up when he rounded second and broke his leg, foot hanging off at a strange angle. It didn't help that I knew my Scoresheet team was, as a result, going in the crapper... About the colour commentary - who needs to see someone get badly hurt from 6 different angles in slow motion? Certainly not me. Then again, by today's standards I seem to have a limited tolerance for that sort of thing.
