What was your first injury playing sports?

Never got injured until my late 20’s playing beer league softball. Pulled a hammy chasing down a fly ball. Could barely walk for about a week and couldn’t run for about 6 weeks. Pulled the hammy a few more times after that over the years.

Only major injury was a torn ACL playing tennis when I was 35.  Went to the doctor the day after...They told me to ice it and take some ibuprofen.  After about 3 months of not getting back to normal, I finally went back in to get checked out again.  MRI showed torn ACL.

I was lucky.  Only injuries were bruises getting hit by baseballs.  When i played football my freshman year. My friend got in at RB, his first rush.  He came running off the field.  And the coach was like "what are you doing get back in there!?" And he pointed to his arm and the bone was sticking out. Haha. The coach had his wife drive him to the hospital.

Cracked rib JV football. Tackled a guy named Elgin Brickhouse. I hit him good but I went off in the ambulance.

Had a broken finger and a couple dislocated fingers, but the worst was my broken ankle in college.
 

Playing junior college ball and I think I might still be second or third and three-pointers made but I was getting quite a few looks at bigger schools, couple power fives and after my ankle I just mentally wasn’t the same. Was a dumb 20 year-old kid getting laid and decided to call it.. 

A classic if I just hadn’t got hurt type nonsense. All good though. I played enough. Just took me too long to get past it.

I fell off the ball-washing machine at the golf course.

Pretty sure I had a few undiagnosed concussions playing football in high school but I never had a real injury until co-ed softball league when I messed up my MCL and meniscus.

There’s a really good anal joke in here somewhere

Yeah. It was like tackling one.
