Ouch that's gross Pt. 1: Jason Kendall breaks an ankle







Note how the ankle breaks. Gross. Now imagine they show this on Sportscenter repeatedly and then zoom in a bunch while Linda Cohn reads the highlight in disgust. What's amazing is that this happened in 1999 and he's played every year since the injury.
Player Bio:
Drafted in 1992 by the Pirates
Debuted: April 1, 1996
Traded in after the 2004 season to Oakland for Mark Redman, Arthur Rhodes and cash (Redman would go 5-15 for the Pirates in 05. Rhodes was traded to Cleveland for Matt Lawton. Rhodes would be traded to Philly for Jason Michaels in 2006 who ended up being traded to Pittsburgh which could explain why neither teams has had a World Series victory in my lifetime. As for the cash, it was most likely spent on those disgusting red alternate jerseys http://pittsburgh.pirates.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070126&content_id=1787457&vkey=news_pit&fext=.jsp&c_id=pit)
Played for the Cubs, Brewers and now the Royals
Lifetime .290 hitter with just 75 home runs in 14 years (only hit seven in the last three years) and is also a three time all-star/forced to represent Pirates (was selected in 1999 but his injury allowed former Blue Jays standout Ed Sprague to go instead)
Injury:Compound dislocation of the ankle.
