If I owned a baseball team, and I was superstitious, or even moderately stituous, I’d think a higher power was starting to tell me to sell the team.

Injury from sliding into 1st base, IIRC?

Don't do that, k?

Not even when the pitcher throws over?

If any player on my team slid head first into first, I'd fine him.

"Since beginning his professional career in 2021, Rodriguez has yet to appear in more than 99 games during a single season and is averaging just 59 games per year. That reality is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.

Over the last four years alone, Rodriguez has battled injuries involving both thumbs, his right hip, oblique, abdomen, and left knee."
