Kent Shatters Skull

San Francisco Giants second baseman Jeff Kent was hospitalized yesterday after shattering his skull.  Sources say the injury occurred while Kent was washing his hair yesterday morning.

“We’re not sure exactly what happened,” said Giants trainer Stan Conte. “One minute, Jeff’s in the shower singing ‘Xanadu’, and the next minute, he’s on the floor, twitching in a pool of his own blood and cerebral fluid.

“Maybe he slipped or something, but personally, I think his skull just caved in under the weight of all that lather.”


Kent

This is the third bizarre injury Kent has suffered this spring. On March 2nd, he broke his left wrist while washing his truck. A week prior to that, Kent dislocated his right shoulder and tore a hamstring in a peculiar ass-wiping incident.

Following this latest incident, the Giants announced that players would no longer be allowed to bathe, shave, or engage in any other cleansing activities that may result in injury. “Personal hygiene is a risk that we can’t afford to take,” said manager Dusty Baker. “No player will ever bathe again while they are a Giant. We’ll hose them down to get rid of lice, but that’s it.”

Kent was busy frantically scrubbing tire tracks off his arms and was unavailable for comment.
